In the creation of Hero Dreams Shine a self-published poetry book that merges engineering, Lakota and advocacy. I founded the  Hero Dreams Shine Initiative to spotlight young people from around the world who are turning their skills into action and tackling the world’s most pressing challenges. The initiative highlights youth leadership, mentorship, and creativity, showing what is possible when dreams are paired with purpose and opportunity. It also connects young people to real-world projects, amplifying their voices and contributions across communities and countries.
