Shalene grew up in the capital of Alaska, Juneau, but moved to the tiny town of Petersburg at the age of 20 for love. Shalene appreciates the town’s slow place and the openness of the people who live there. “Nobody locks their doors here in Petersburg,” she says with a smile. .
The women in Shalene’s family have been commercial fishers for generations, “… starting with my grandmother,” she explains. Her husband Kent is a fisherman too, of course. “And I’m now raising the next generation of fishermen,” says Shalene, referring to her two children Stellan and Mattea.
