n the rugged heart of Alaska—where mountains carve the sky and silence is broken only by the wind—lives a woman shaped by both the land and the future. A born-and-raised Alaskan, her roots run deep: from organizing tools in her father’s auto body shop and singing in the paint booth to standing beside her grandfather at political events, applauding innovation and purpose-driven leadership.

Surrounded by postcard-worthy beauty, she learned early the value of hard work, family, and community. That foundation guided her through a diverse career, from auto repair to healthcare, oil and gas, and now media. Each step taught her something new, but the common thread has always been clear communication, authentic relationships, and a passion for helping others succeed.

This new chapter follows the retirement of Janis Plume, who served Alaska Business clients for a decade. She is honored to carry on his legacy—acting as a connector, problem-solver, and advocate for Alaska’s business community. Whether working with engineers, stakeholders, or small business owners, she strives to bridge gaps, build trust, and highlight the people and companies moving our state forward.

Alaska gave her everything—and if you ask what drives her, the answer is simple: family, community, and the breathtaking spirit of the 49th state.
