About Me

About Me

Hello! Cama'i!

  

I am a lifelong Alaskan, social scientist and wild seafood lover who has worked in fisheries anthropology and archaeology for over a decade. My collaborative community-based research explores cultural values, access, equity, and well-being. My company Ringer Consulting is a woman-owned business rooted in the rich and resilient landscapes of rural Alaska, and specializes in providing anthropological, archaeological, fisheries, and climate-readiness consulting services. 

 

I live in Kodiak, Alaska with my husband Chris, dogs Marmot and Tonki, and cat Bella, where we operate a small-scale

family run commercial fishing operation on the F/V North Star.

I am honored to live and work on the ancestral homelands of the Alutiiq/Sugpiaq of Kodiak Island.
