Hello, my name is Tyrese Jensen and I am Diné (Navajo). I am in pursuit of a Biomedical Science degree at NAU. Aside from being a student, I am an instructor of hoop dance. I have taught students from toddlers to adults. I love making connections between Navajo traditions and science. It allows me to provide evidence and connection that everything is connected in it’s own way.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
