Before joining WIND, Tai worked four years at Albany County, Wyoming as the Grants Manager, overseeing all state and federal funding to support County infrastructure, program development, and management.

“Wyoming has been my home almost my entire life. I love Laramie, and I love the state, and it’s a privilege to be able to do what I do."
