Travel the country? Live in some of the most beautiful places? Who could beat that? Lupe Zaragoza began her NPS journey as a seasonal ranger within the Interpretation and Education division and enjoyed the tumbleweed lifestyle it provided. She has lived and worked in Alaska for the majority of her NPS career and currently holds the role of Regional Digital Manager. Her favorite part of the job is working with field staff to shape the NPS digital experience, which, of course, is only second-best to being there in person.

Alex Ennes is a rock-nerd-turned-digital-nerd. Well... okay, she's still a rock nerd. Alex got her start as a Geoscientist-in-Parks at Badlands National Park, where her love for rocks quickly transformed into a love for public lands. From there, she bounced around the country's most amazing landscapes as a seasonal NPS interpreter before getting her first permanent position as a park ranger for the Bureau of Land Management's Bears Ears National Monument. She is now the Regional Digital Coordinator for Region 11 (Alaska) and routinely calls this position her dream job. She enjoys the challenge and privilege of trying to make Alaska NPS.gov websites helpful and organized for the public, since planning a trip to this region often requires more online research than others.
