An American self-made entrepreneur, she has a background in sustainable housing construction, the tourism, hospitality, and services industries, and was a founding board member of One Earth One People Peace Vision Inc, a member of San Juan Native American Council, and Outreach Director for IDEA-International Development Exchange Association.

Her cumulative unique experiences and unquenchable desire to inspire people to create a healthier, happier world are now manifest in this new Rwandan company, Kinigi Eco Center Ltd.
