LeAnn Skrzynski has served as Environmental Program Director for the Kaibab Band of Paiute Indians for 3 1/2 years under an EPA grant, developing and administering environmental policy for the tribe, coordinating community environmental education, and overseeing several resource protection programs.
LeAnn matriculated at Northern Arizona University, receiving summa cum laude honors in environmental science with a minor in biology. She was inducted into Phi Kappa Phi and received NAU's Presidential Award for remaining in the top 5% of the Dean's List for every semester.
Among other federal service, she has worked as an environmental technician for four years with the former Glen Canyon Environmental Studies (now known as the Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center) under the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. While serving in this capacity, she gained familiarity with local tribal issues and the broad spectrum of research undertaken in studying the Colorado River ecosystem in relation to the operations of Glen Canyon Dam. This background is instrumental in interpreting scientific perspectives while protecting tribal cultural values on the Colorado Plateau.
