She obtained her undergraduate degree from the University of North Dakota (UND) in Natural Resource and Park Management.

Her work has expanded over the years to include work in the international arena in order to create more awareness about international decision-making and its effect at the local level. Her current major focus is on creating awareness about the true dangers of hydraulic fracturing while working to push for regulations and protections, particularly on Native lands.
