22-24:  Attended Star Fleet Medical.(Earned BSN - Bachelors of Science in Nursing)

Kiska Peninsula Saxman was born to Kwethluk Saxman (Yupik-Eskimo/Canadian) and Galena Napaskia (Russian) on January 10, 2220, in the city of Galena, Alaska. The night she was born her father named her his little Peninsula but her mother insisted on the family custom to name a child after a city, river or island of Alaska. So they compromised and Kiska Peninsula Saxman became her name. She was petite in frame but she was much stronger than she appeared. She had grown up with brothers who had demanded she keep up with them or put on a dress and get back in the kitchen. The years of playing sports with her brothers as well as competing in snowmachine racing, snowboarding and numerous other physical activites gave her strength and endurance. She was also an excellent hunter and could shot just as good if not better than her brothers. Her long straight black hair, which she usually shoved into a ponytail, was from her father's Yupik side while her ice blues eyes and ivory complexion was from her Russian heritage on her mother's side. Like most young people who grow up their wholes lives in a small town, she can't wait to leave it. She longed to see, taste and feel new things, new ideas and new places. Starfleet gave her this chance to break free from the mundane life in Alaska. As soon as she earned her RN license she received the news that she had been assigned and was about to embark on her first Starship.....the USS HOOD.

When she is in Alaska she likes to attend and particpate in some of Alaska's popular annual events such as the Iditarod, World Ice Art Championships and Tesoro Iron Dog... just name a few.
