Biography
Wetherleigh, though not originally from Alaska, has called Kodiak home for over 15
years. She graduated from the University of Alaska Fairbanks with a BA in Linguistics.
During her time in Fairbanks, Wetherleigh worked as a student employee for the Student
Activities and Orientation office. Furthering her passion for being a positive resource
for students, she received an Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Activity (URSA)
grant that allowed her to spend a semester developing and implementing a series of
lesson plans studying the efficacy of using video games in English language acquisition.
Her preparation for the URSA project and hard work in classes led to her receiving
an Outstanding Undergraduate Student award from the UAF College of Liberal Arts' Linguistics
Department.
