Originally from Seattle, Sharon has been teaching for many years in Alaska: Hollis, SE Alaska (2 years), Akiak (near Bethel, 2 years), Huslia (9 years) Nikolai (2 years), back to Huslia (3 years) and now at McGrath. Like a number of ALISON teachers, Sharon joined via the UAF Observing Locally, Connecting Globally program (OLCG).
