Mariel Odum began working with us in 2013 while attending college getting her elementary education degree. Upon graduating from the Univeristy of Alaska Southeast, she ventured out to the rural community of St. Mary's, Alaska teaching 3rd grade. She returned to Juneau and taught 5th grade for a number of years before finishing up in reading intervention.

Following close to a decade of teaching in Alaska, she rejoined the firm! Since her return, she's been managing the office and providing customer support. Mariel has been especially knowledgeable in troubleshooting online access issues. You will find that she is a joy to work with as she provides service to you. 

When she's not in the office, she can be found spending time with her family. They find joy in shopping and chasing each other around the house when trying to keep everything as tidy as can be. When it's a clear day, Mariel's pushing an empty stroller while Josh chases the kids on the sidewalk with their dog in tow.
