Sarah Zerkel

Freelance Social Media and Content Writer

I'm writer and content creator in Anchorage, Alaska where I write a monthly column 61° North in Alaska Coast Magazine. In 2013, I earned a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from the University of Alaska Anchorage and quickly decided to turn my natural understanding of humans and their environments to curating stories for publications and companies. Though I spend more time than I'd like at my keyboard I love to get out into the natural world both in my home state of Alaska and throughout the world. I've traveled and climbed in South America, Nepal, and the Pacific Northwest and draw inspiration from these adventures into my writing. On calmer days, I like to cuddle with my two husky-mix puppies and indulge my deep (at times unhealthy) love of coffee. Website: sarahzerkel.com
