Between STEM activities in Buckland and Kivalina, Rose Walker — who grew up in Buckland — took Miguel Villacorta shee-fishing out on the ice near Kotzebue.

Moments like these highlight the importance of local knowledge, shared experiences, and community connections across Northwest Alaska. We’re grateful for the opportunity to learn from one another both inside and outside the classroom. ❄️🐟

Kuna Engineering’s Rose Walker and Miguel Villacorta recently had the opportunity to visit Buckland and Kivalina through the BWISE Program, working with students on hands-on STEM activities focused on creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving.

From balloon-powered race cars and catapults to community mapping and engineering challenges, students brought incredible imagination and enthusiasm to every activity. We’re grateful to the schools and communities for welcoming us and allowing us to help inspire the next generation across rural Alaska. 💙

Gloves on, bags open, Alaska wind doing its usual “character building” thing.

This afternoon, ten Kuna employees, along with one awesome teenage volunteer, spent time doing roadside cleanup and helping care for our community. After a productive afternoon outdoors, the team celebrated with pizza at Pizza Plaza, where gentle ribbing and funny stories created an atmosphere of laughter and camaraderie.

Thank you to everyone who came out and represented Kuna so well.

Welcome to the team, Ashley! 🎉

We’re excited to introduce Ashley Barebo, Environmental Scientist at Kuna Engineering. Ashley brings a unique background to the team, starting her career as an exploration geologist before transitioning into environmental science. Originally from Pennsylvania, she’s spent the last four years working in Alaska and is excited to continue supporting remote rural projects across the state.

Ashley loves being outdoors, spending time in the mountains, and tackling challenging field conditions with a smile and a strong team. Outside of work, she enjoys gardening, hiking with her dog Buddy, and growing giant trees inside her small house. 🌲🐕

And according to Ashley, one piece of Alaska field gear is absolutely essential: a mosquito net (bonus points for earplugs to block out the buzzing).

We’re glad to have Ashley on board and look forward to the experience and energy she brings to Kuna Engineering!

What do you do when a community’s sewer system no longer works—and the ground itself makes traditional solutions difficult?

That’s the challenge the City of Anderson is facing, about 76 miles south of Fairbanks. High groundwater and freezing conditions have caused the existing system to fail, and there’s no one-size-fits-all fix.

Kuna Engineering has been working with Village Safe Water and the City of Anderson to find a path forward—meeting with residents, walking properties, and designing wastewater solutions that fit each home’s unique conditions.

It’s hands-on work, built on listening, problem-solving, and partnership.

We’re excited to introduce one of our newest team members, AJ Olson!

AJ recently joined Kuna Engineering as a Civil Engineer in Training, bringing a strong foundation in structural engineering and a passion for working on projects that support Alaska communities. As an Anchorage local, he’s especially excited to contribute to work that makes a difference close to home.

We put together a quick story featuring AJ—both in the office and out enjoying one of our recent team events at Arctic Valley. Take a look and help us welcome him to the team!

We had an amazing time bringing a dragon to life for this year’s CANstruction! 🐉

Led by Kolaiah Baker, our Kuna / NANA North / NMS team created “The Hunter and the Auroragon”—built entirely from canned goods that will be donated to the Food Bank of Alaska.

From planning it out on the office floor to building it piece by piece, this was truly a team effort—and a lot of fun along the way.

📍 Built April 10
📅 On display through April 24

If you’re nearby, stop in to see all the incredible CANstructions and vote for Team 7!

Kuna’s own Daniel Nichols took the stage this week at the Alaska Municipal League Alaska Infrastructure Symposium.

As part of a panel, Daniel spoke about the design phase of projects—the step where ideas start becoming real, buildable solutions for Alaska communities.

We’re proud to have team members sharing their expertise and helping move important infrastructure conversations forward across the state.
