A Bit About Me
Hello! My name is Jennifer Parisien and I am a tribal citizen of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians. Currently, I serve as a Policy Advisor within the Office of Recovery at the U.S. Department of Treasury.
​
Prior to serving in this role, I was a financial analyst for the Pechanga Band of Luiseńo Indians and assisted the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians with COVID-19 grant management. I also have over seven years of experience working as a legislative policy analyst at the Native American Finance Officers Association (NAFOA), where I advocated for tribal government inclusion in the areas of accounting, finance, and economic development. I am a graduate of Minnesota State University with a Bachelors in Finance and hold a Masters in Finance from Johns Hopkins University.
​
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my two daughters and competitively golfing with my husband.
