Jelena Richardson
Program Associate
Visitor Products Cluster Working Group (VPCWG)
As a developer in heart, I thrive on uncovering potential—in projects, ideas, and people. I bring a positive, solutions-oriented attitude to every challenge, finding opportunities for growth and innovation. My love of learning fuels my ability to adapt and explore new ideas.
I am a natural builder and problem-solver, driven by a passion for creating meaningful connections and fostering sustainable growth.
I am deeply committed to creating transformative visitor experiences while ensuring tourism benefits local communities and protects natural beauty. I build bridges between people, ideas, and industries to craft a vibrant, sustainable future for the region.
When I'm not collaborating with partners, you can find me exploring the Alaskan wilderness, learning to fly drone, and inspiring others to take the roads less traveled.
