Emily Carroll (she / her ) is Gwichín Athabascan from Fort Yukon, Alaska. I grew up in Fort Yukon and Fairbanks while spending the summers with my grandmother in Chalkyitsik, AK. I received my AAS in Process Technolgy from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. In my free time I like to spend it with family and friends or working on my endless beading projects. I enjoy doing outdoor activities such as camping, boating and snowmachining. I am beyond excited to work with the RIO team and on issues that affect Alaska and our way of life.
