Due to my current aspirations, I do not see a future for me in Alaska. Although I do love Alaska, my career of choice does not align with me staying in Alaska.

I plan on relocating to the Lower 48. My husband is Coast Guard, so we move every few years. Ultimately, we wouldn't be able to stay in Homer, due to its small job market and high cost of living. We love the people in Alaska, and we're going to miss the friendly and tight-knit community of Homer.

PRE-NURSING
I hope to make a life in Alaska. This is where I have a daughter. it's a tight-knit community that i can envision raising children in. There is a sense of connection and community here in ways that I haven't found in the Lower 48. It's beautiful here, and you can enjoy being outside.
