moreNew Hire!!
Hello, my name is Alyzea Ortega. I was recently hired by the TAALA Fund.
I was born and raised in Grays Harbor, and I am a member of the Quinault Indian Nation. Some of my hobbies are hanging out with my family as well as going to my in-laws on the weekends for dinner along with spending quality time with them, cooking, traveling and my absolute favorite place is the beach. My goal here is to gain as much knowledge and experience as possible. It is also very important to me that I help other Native Americans follow their dreams, whether that's buying a new car, purchasing a home, or helping clients get on their feet with their small business!
