I was born and raised on the ancestral lands of the Dena'ina. Growing up in Alaska instilled a deep love and respect for this incredible state and its people. I’m currently a senior in the Legal Studies program at the University of Alaska Anchorage, where I also earned an associate degree in Culinary Arts. My journey has taken me from advocating against Pebble Mine with the Mobilization Center to my exciting new role with the Rural and Indigenous Outreach program. When I'm not working or studying, I’m out enjoying the Alaskan outdoors, whether hiking, biking, or exploring with my three beautiful children.
