Alaska Climate Adaptation Science Center
My work supports community-based climate adaptation and resilience initiatives in Southeast Alaska. I grew up in a commercial fishing family based in Juneau, Alaska, spending summers living and fishing
out of a remote homestead on the southern tip of the Chilkat Peninsula. I am a guest on Lingít Aaní and honored to learn from the lands, animals, and people who live here.
For over a decade, I’ve worked in remote field sites and in communities to monitor, respond to, and share stories of climate change in Southeast Alaska. My work is informed by my experiences in fisheries, climate education, glacier research, wildlife biology, and place-based storytelling. My master’s degree is in geography from the University of British Columbia and focuses on place-based knowledge of glacier retreat and landscape change in Southeast Alaska and supporting local climate concerns through community engaged initiatives.
