Contributions of Young Alaskans: Sara Perman
Sara Perman, 30, Consultant: Strategy, Government Relations, Natural Resources Sara began her career as a geologist studying core samples on the Livengood Gold Project in interior Alaska. As a geologist, she traveled from the Interior of Alaska to West Texas, back to the North Slope, and all the way to the Aleutian Islands doing various work in oil and gas, mineral exploration, and environmental remediation. Along the way, Sara became involved in local campaigns and found herself in Juneau working as a legislative aide for the State House of Representatives. During her stint in the Capitol, she focused on transportation and energy issues. Notably, she staffed the House Transportation Committee, focusing on topical issues such as the Alaska Marine Highway System and rural aviation safety. Sara continues to be involved in natural resource development and public policy. She recently established her own consulting business, Modern Prospects, to focus on natural resources, government relations and strategic planning. Sara is also a supporter of Alaska’s local nonprofits. She volunteers at Cyrano’s Theater Company and she serves on Camp Fire Alaska’s Resource Development Committee. Additionally, she spent the past two years
providing general support for the Atwood Foundation, which provides financial support for the fine arts, journalism, historic preservation and other civic enterprises. She lives in Anchorage with her husband Jonny and their animals. When she isn’t working, Sara is an avid outdoors enthusiast. She enjoys skiing, biking and packrafting. When she isn’t playing in the mountains, she is painting them. This summer Sara looks forward to spending time in the garden growing her own produce.
