I am the onsite Speech Therapist for June Nelson Elementary School.  I have been  working for NWABSD as a speech therapist off and on since 2004.  I have provided onsite and remote video services for every village in this district at one time or another over the last 16 years.  Since December 2017, I have had the pleasure of living in Kotzebue and serving the families of June Nelson Elementary School full time.  Prior to that I traveled up here 5 times a school year from New Mexico.

I love this Arctic and Inupiaq way of life...it suits my heart and spirit.  Seeing the bright light in the eyes of each of the students I work with here fulfills me and makes my own heart sing.  Thank you for allowing me to share time with your children.  Ms. Gwen, SLT
