Shayndl “Leah” Murphy
Facility Manager
Shayndl “Leah” Murphy was exposed to and participated in various native events and ceremonies from a very young age, mostly related to DQ University, UC Davis, and Buena Vista Rancheria. These experiences helped spark her interest in becoming an event coordinator, and she later started her own successful business, Lady Leah Events, in 2019. That year she was also invited to coordinate the BVR events as an independent contractor — including Memorial Day, Fall Dance, Elders’ Dinner, and the Children’s Christmas party. In 2023, Leah became Bryte & Broderick’s Facility Manager and the BVR Tribe’s Event Coordinator as a permanent position. Leah is the oldest sister of the younger tribal members.
“It’s an honor to serve and carry on the Tribe’s traditional ceremonies and their historical gatherings.”— Shayndl “Leah” Murphy
