Vera Weiser
Counselor

Vera was born back in the fifty's in Minto, an Athabaskan Indian village in central Alaska. She grew up in Old Minto and went to school at the Minto BIA school up until the eighth grade. She went to Mt. Edgecumbe for her ninth through twelve grade, and she graduated from high school there. Then she went to college at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. While she was at college she studied Secondary Education and graduated there.

Vera has been working here and at Pilot Station as counselor since August. She likes her job because she likes to work with the kids. She has been interested in being a counselor every since she was young. She got her Bachelor's degree from the UAF and her Master's degree from Northern Arizona College at Flagstaff.

Vera's job keeps her stimulated because she works with students. She says that each student is different, and that she likes working with them. The best thing about her job is getting to meet new people and the worst thing is to travel because of the bad weather we get sometimes.
