Did you know Caleb personally?
I did! Caleb was my Lions Club basketball coach in elementary school, teaching teamwork and hard work along with having fun, which all amount to a strong work ethic.
In what ways do you engage in marine conservation?
I am an advocate for living a strong, healthy subsistence lifestyle and sharing my culture with others – and why it is important to keep our oceans clean, healthy, and protected from damage that will affect the marine wildlife which affect my People, as we have a strong connection with the animals and the sea.
What are your future plans?
After earning my degrees from the University of Alaska Fairbanks I’d like to go to the lower 48 and attend a culinary arts school for a couple of years and then return home to Kotzebue to be active in the community and raise my family living a subsistence lifestyle and teaching the Inupiaq Values.
