My Nonprofit Reviews

I was invited by a sponsor to attend an AISES National Conference 40 years ago. I was the only American Indian engineering student at UC Berkeley for many years. I was 16 years old when I entered UCB as a structural engineer major. I was interested in designing buildings and infrastructure for Native communities. AISES introduced me to a whole new world of Native professionals, role models and great networking opportunities. AISES has been invaluable to me in opening doors for graduate school, I received my M.S. in Civil Eng and M.A in Architecture at UCB. I’m very grateful for AISES being an inspiration to me throughout my academic and professional career. Over the years, my growth has developed as I giveback to AISES. AISES is an exceptional non-profit organization! I just received AISES highest award, 2023 Ely S. Parker award!
