Courtney is excited to help incubate and develop small businesses in tribal communities, while helping them generate jobs and build generational wealth so they can continue to live and work in their tribal communities. Having grown up in a small, rural, and marginalized community herself where good jobs required a significant commute, she aspires to build up and enrich communities, so residents don’t have to resort to moving away.
