Alaska is the seventh state I have lived in and I love it here. I have lived in rural Alaska for the past 9 years.

I was the lead social worker for Lower Kuskokwim School District in Bethel and I itinerated to over 20 villages. I highly recommend it! It is a natural progression to find myself teaching within adult cohort models (RHS, HUMS, SWK) given my experience working in rural communities as a social worker.
