She has a bachelor’s degree in business administration with an emphasis in management and a minor in mathematics at Warner Pacific University in Portland, Oregon and acquired her master’s in business administration at the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA). Sharon and her husband Fred live in Anchorage.
Currently she teaches at the University of Alaska Anchorage and directs the Alaska Native Business Management Program at the College of Business and Public Policy.

“The Aleut Corporation’s foundation is built on the cultural identities of the Unangax people for which we serve. That foundation took time to form as we learned this new, sometimes foreign and very Western corporate environment. In the end, we have become Ataqan and are serving our people in ways never conceived during our formative years.”
