1993 to Present  John Fredson School, Yukon Flats School District, Venetie, AK
 Grades 7 - 12 Math/Science/Generalist and Principal Teacher
At John Fredson School I teach all areas, particularly science and math, as well as such diverse subjects as computer skills, graphic design, and careers.  For the past six years I have organized two student trips to Disneyland, and another to South Central Alaska.  My yearbook class published the first full-color yearbook in our school's history and it was accomplished in its entirety on site using computer technology.  In my present position as principal/teacher I have had the opportunity of greatly expanding my knowledge in and appreciation for administration of small schools and what it takes to keep an active community involvement.
