Rebekah Agnaurq Arnold, a proud member of the Native Village of Kotzebue Tribe and of Inuit descent, was born and raised in Kikikitagruk (Kotzebue), Alaska. With a B.A. in Business Administration Management from Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado, Rebekah has always been driven by a deep connection to her heritage and community.
Her journey with Alaska Pacific University began in 2017, and after a brief period working in the healthcare industry as a Trainer during the pandemic, she returned to the University in 2023 as the Coordinator for the Center for Climate and Health. Rebekah is thrilled to be back at an institution that not only honors Alaska’s Indigenous heritage but also exemplifies excellence and is dedicated to preparing paths for future leaders. Her passion lies in helping to amplify the voices and contributions of Alaska Native peoples and in shaping opportunities for those who will lead in the years to come.
Outside of her professional life, Rebekah is a proud mother of two amazing children, alongside her husband Jason. Together, they love connecting with the world around them through activities such as hiking, biking, camping, harvesting, and traveling. Their family values the importance of experiencing and learning from the land and cultures they encounter.
