I am a Yupik Eskimo from the village of Koliganek located on the Nushagak River. I received a Bachelor’s degree in elementary education at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. I was an elementary teacher in rural schools for 6 years before switching gears. For the past 6 years I worked as a behavioral health case manager at a tribal health organization. My family commercial fishes in Bristol Bay each summer. I enjoy subsistence activities which include berry picking, putting up smoked salmon strips and canning fish. Living in Alaska provides so many exciting adventures and opportunities.
APU focuses on student centered, hands-on learning experiences. We have a lot of supportive services and we are dedicated to helping students succeed.
