educator. She has taught students from first grade through university graduate school. When not teaching directly in a classroom, she worked with adults entering the field of education. Happy in her third year of teaching in Arctic Village, Ms. Maldonado began her career in Iowa, then spent many years working in Arizona schools. As a Director of the ASPIRE and Native Teacher Preparation Program at Arizona State University, she assisted multi-generational, traditional and non-traditional students to complete their education certification and teach in their own communities. Ms. Maldonado descends from her Irish father and Italian mother and has four children and nine grandchildren. Her relations also include family on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming. In her “free” time (ha!) Ms. Maldonado enjoys music, sewing, cooking, camping and being close to water.Mabuhay! (Hello)☺

I’m an Instructional Aide/ paraprofessional. I grew up in Arctic Village Alaska and love to travel. My favorite thing to do is read. I could read all day if no one stopped me. One of my main goals is to be a elementary teacher but my objective goal is to be certified in Special Ed.
