Jessica Drain

Interviewed by Nick A

Jessica Drain was born in Maryland but this is her second summer in Alaska. She is 24 years old and she is a park ranger in Denali National Park. She came up to Alaska in her first summer as an intern and loved it so she became a park ranger in her second summer. She saw the internship online and decided to take the opportunity. She spends most of her time caring for the dogs on the dog sled team. It takes about an hour and a half in the morning and half an hour at night. She has ridden the dog sled around a small track but has never ridden it in the open.
