As the youngest council member I plan to be a role model for our children and young adults, and encourage them to get involved. I hold a Bachelors of Science in Computer Science from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, and am currently working toward my MBA. It is crucial that we achieve healthy, successful, productive, and self-sufficient lifestyles for a proud tribe of Mashpee Wampanoag's. Therefore, I am dedicating the next four years to working with Council on establishing an ethics ordinance, supporting the growth of all departments, and increasing sustainable jobs for our tribal membership. I believe that responsibility for achieving self-sufficiency rests with the governing body of the Tribe. It is the Councils responsibility to assist our community to implement an economic development strategy and to plan, organize, and direct Tribal resources in a comprehensive manner.
