Kelsey identifies as a Diné woman from the Navajo Nation and grew up in Leupp, AZ and Shonto, AZ. She was raised learning how to farm from her father and found a passion in horticulture, botany, and native plant restoration. Kelsey’s professional background consist of working with the Navajo Nation Dept. of Fish and Wildlife and co-created the Diné Native Plants Program. Kelsey continues to be a voice for native plants and understands their importance to indigenous peoples and the role they play in preserving healthy ecosystems.
