Marci enjoys being around and especially on the back of a horse, when she has the time she enjoys nature, beading, and drawing. Marci's kids are her world, her pride and joy, so anything with them is a priority.

In 2014 she graciously accepted the position of Executive Director for Western Native Voice. Under her leadership, their team has led robust community organizing, civic engagement and advocacy programs. Before entering into the social justice world, Marci's career was in the healthcare and construction fields. Marci's passion is helping others find their voice and build their leadership skills to lead movements and change.

Marci draws her strength and guidance from her Piikuni culture, she belongs to the Brave Dogs Society, comes from the Greenwood Burner Society,  is a part of Thunder Pipe and Beaver Bundles, and a member of the Piikuni Warrior Women's Society.
