Sarah King is excited to start her studies at Prince William Sound College. She has been admitted into the outdoor leadership program. For Sarah, it was a desire to be “working for the park service” and a yearning “for a more rugged experience in the backcountry” that brought the New Jersey native to Valdez, Alaska.
