In addition to her excellent clinical skills, Marie is a life-long Alaskan and very proud of her family’s background as early pioneers to Alaska. Her maternal grandmother’s family came to Alaska by steamship in the 1930’s to farm the Matanuska Valley. Her paternal grandparents homesteaded in Soldotna, helping to found the community where Marie was born and raised. She and her husband are raising their three children with the values handed down by those trail blazing roots. Their family continues to hunt, fish, camp and adventure in the great Alaskan outdoors.
