What is your current employment title?
Traditional Culture Coordinator
What would you like to share about your time at Annette Island School District?
Growing up enriched in culture definitely made me the Ts'msyen woman I am today. Sharing our culture and Sm'algyax has really helped me in my job finding others to come share their Alaska Native culture. Very grateful for my subsistence knowledge from my parents, aunts and uncles which I able to bring to our head start classrooms and families!
Certificates, Degrees, or Achievements you’d like to share?
Bachelor's degree in 2004, currently working on masters degree in education and teaching certification for Sm'algyax.
Who is a teacher you would like to give a shout out to and their role in your success?
Mrs. Donna Ackerman and Mr. Bill Ulmer. Mrs. Ackerman definitely gave me a taste of leadership in teaching which have come in handy with leading my Ts'msyen dance group when it comes to fundraising. Grateful to Mr. Ulmer science knowledge, it really made me love and appreciate science and helped me chose classes for my college days!
What advice would you give to current students?
If you want to plan for your future in vocational school or college, save as much of your money as possible, pfds, paychecks all help but it amazed me how quickly it goes (to the) first year of college. Apply for as many scholarships as possible too, every little bit helps you reach your dream!
