Background

About Tannis Simon

I am a dedicated community advocate with experience in youth programming, leadership, and event coordination. In my current role with the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, I design and lead culturally relevant programs that support youth and families, promote wellness, and reduce risks of suicide and substance use. I have also built leadership skills through federal program work, including supervising teams, developing training resources, and completing multiple wildland fire assignments. My background also includes hospitality and customer service, where I strengthened my ability to work in fast-paced environments and build positive relationships. I am passionate about supporting communities, fostering collaboration, and creating opportunities that help people thrive. I bring strong skills in communication, problem solving, program planning, and technical tools such as ArcGIS, Microsoft Office, and event logistics
