Born and raised along the banks of the Kuskokwim River in Southwest Alaska, Katrina Pan’aq Leary is Yup'ik and Athabascan from Mamterilleq (Bethel) and Napaimute. She currently resides in Anchorage on Dena’ina lands with her daughter. Katrina has a passion to apply her cultural upbringing and knowledge to her role as a parent and along her journey, became inspired to help other families do the same. She has completed several Indigenous birthworker trainings.

She is deeply thankful for all the families that have welcomed her and continue to welcome her during such a sacred time in their life. In October of 2022, Katrina completed the Indigenous Childbirth Educator Training and the Center for Indigenous Midwifery Assistant Training in December of 2023. Quyana!
