Jessica Akerman, Sita, is a Peace Corps Volunteer from New London, Minnesota. A marine biologist by training, she teaches marine science at her village’s high school in the sea resort area of Aleipata. Her science class recently entered a South Pacific wide contest with a proposal and action plan for improving the health of the sea. She finishes her Peace Corps time this May.
Jessica is a woman comfortable with outdoor adventure and physical challenges. Before the Peace Corps, she worked for a year observing walruses, many times repelling down cliffs at remote Alaskan beaches. She lived in an isolated cabin, reachable only by floatplane, and had to carrying a shotgun whenever she went outside to protect herself from the ever-dangerous grizzly bears. While in Samoa she has been active in preserving marine environments and protecting the huge turtle population a few steps outside her home. Jessica has done over 160 dives and bicycled just about everywhere you can go in Samoa. A job in the Alaskan wilderness awaits her upon her return to the U.S.
