I grew up in Pelican and Sitka, and I'm Tlingit (Suḵteeneidí, Raven Dog Salmon clan) with deep roots in Southeast Alaska. I've lived in Anchorage for over a decade, where my husband and I are raising our two young children.

After graduating from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, I served in the U.S. Peace Corps in Nicaragua, an experience that shaped how I think about communities, infrastructure, and what it means when basic services fail the people who depend on them. I went on to earn a Master of Science in Foreign Service from Georgetown University, and have spent the years since working at the intersection of energy policy, economic development, and infrastructure investment across Alaska and the Arctic.

Today I serve as Chief Policy and Partnerships Officer at Launch Alaska, where I work every day to help new energy and infrastructure technologies deliver real benefits to Alaskans. I also am a current Fulbright Arctic Initiative scholar, researching industrial development and clean energy infrastructure in northern Sweden.

I've served on multiple boards, including the Anchorage Museum, The Nature Conservancy Alaska Chapter, and my local North Star Community Council, and I understand what serious fiduciary oversight looks like. I bring discipline and commitment to everything I do.

Public service has always been part of how I give back to Alaska and my community. Serving on the Chugach Electric Association board would be a privilege.
