Natural sciences have been a part of my life as a five-fingered Navajo since before I was born. The earth and all its glory was a huge part of my upbringing and I learned to appreciate all the different perspectives of trying to understand Earth’s processes. As a STEM educator, I feel it is one of my duties to spread the awe and marvelousness of our land and all its beings. My goal is to share the passion and understanding we have with others and vice versa. There is a large opportunity to enhance STEM education for our people and shift the perspective toward a more enriched future. As a NOYCE Master Teacher Fellow, I hope to expand my network and increase my science knowledge to better serve as a leader and for the future leaders of our communities.
