Laureen Lewis

I am the Financial Oversight Analyst Int. for Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP). I joined ITEP in July of 2019 working as part time temp and became a full employee in February 2020. I provide administrative support for the Climate Change Program and the Environmental Education Outreach Program (EEOP).

I am a member of the Havasupai and Hopi Tribes, I received my associate’s degree in Pre-Health Careers at Coconino Community College and got my Nursing Assistance license at the Arizona State Board of Nursing. Prior to working with ITEP, I worked for Abrio Care for 10 years providing exceptional home care services for children with disabilities. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, going fishing, camping, hiking and going to plant nurseries.
