My professional background is as a Research Scientist affiliated with the University of Kansas and the Union Center for Cultural and Environmental Research, with a focus on brain injury research and conceptual media development (programming, exhibits, and environmental construction). My work celebrates minimalism, lateral thinking, and the pushing of boundaries—both in content and in the physical and cultural spaces in which that content is experienced. I bring extensive understanding of the educational philosophies of Dr. Maria Montessori and Rudolf Steiner on early child and youth development, and apply these insights to trauma and brain injury rehabilitation. I also participate in the BTG fundraiser at Children's Mercy Hospital neurological research in Kansas City, and I am active in advancing American children's rights, civil rights, human rights, and disability rights. Trusting in my ability to execute goals through effective communication and integrative design, I am able to combine multiple priorities into a coherent whole and translate them into accessible, community-based practice. My programs and media are conceived as a choreographed collage of brutal industrial sound, layered with the deep pop visuals of Native American street art, classical portraiture, and landscape traditions. The work resonates with the honesty of musique concrète of the 1950s—particularly Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Gesang der Jünglinge—and with the evolving textures of Philip Glass, Kristine Kubisch, Carla Scaletti, and Brian Eno. This fusion of research, sovereignty, and creative expression frames a path for Indigenous nations to direct their own healing and neurological research environments under PL 93-638, reinforcing the principle that health and culture are inseparable.…My professional background is as a Research Scientist affiliated with the University of Kansas and the Union Center for Cultural and Environmental Research, with a focus on brain injury research and conceptual media development (programming, exhibits, and environmental construction).
