Intern Spotlight: Grace Powless

Hello! My name is Grace Powless. I am half Navajo and half Oneida, enrolled in the Oneida Nation Tribe in Wisconsin. I am currently attending Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. I will be getting my Bachelors in Psychology and will further my education to become a therapist. With my Bachelors degree I plan on working on the Oneida Reservation and continue schooling to achieve my Master’s and hopefully reach out to more Indigenous tribes about mental health. I believe that mental health is not taken seriously in our society. Talking about it and and helping others understand that it can benefit each person in their everyday lives.

I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures. Some hobbies that i have are music, playing games, drawing and just having a good time honestly.
