Background

About Molina Richards

I am a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe with a background in Geographic Information Technology honing in on an understanding of Geographic Information Systems technology within the development of many fields. I previously served as FEMA Public Assistance Filed Support Apprentice (PAFSA) for the Public Assistance Next Generation Program (PA NEXT). I was previously deployed while I worked at FEMA to assist with Individual Assistance for DR-4834-FL (Hurricane Milton) and DR-4828 (Hurricane Helene) for 65 days. My previous experience includes leveraging GIS to map Tribal Housing for both the Oglala Sioux Tribe and Rosebud Sioux Tribe Indian Reservations, working for the Rosebud Sioux Tribe E-911 program, and creating Tribal High Risk Mapping and Search and Rescue. I also completed the Geospatial Information Technology program at Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I am experienced through prior work with the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Emergency Preparedness Program, Search and Rescue with Incident Command Support. I am a tribal member with over a decade of experience working with tribes and am very passionate about bridging relationships and resources to tribes. I am excited to work for Partnership with Native Americans! My hobbies are being involved with my community, sewing, and spending time with my family. I volunteer at the Parmelee Volunteer Fire Department, Sicangu MMIW, and Community events. Wopila!
