Hello, my name
is Tammy Payghutqaq Gologergen; I was born and raised in
Nome to Tom and Sharon Sparks and I am the oldest of three
siblings (Rhonda, James and Rena). Naturally, I enjoy camping,
boating, picking berries, hunting and fishing. I attended
Nome Public Schools, which I am proud to say I have graduated
in 1998 from Nome Beltz High School. Upon graduating from
high school, I started working with Norton Sound Health
Corporation as a Dental Assistant.
Working as a dental assistant,
I had the opportunity to travel to the 15 villages within
the Bering Strait region. While traveling, I gained a
greater love for our region and what it has to offer.
Working for 5 years encouraged me to pursue advanced opportunities
in my chosen career. I had the good fortune to attend
school at the University of Otago, in Dunedin, New Zealand.
Studying for two years, I have obtained an associates
degree in Dental Therapy.
The career of Dental Therapy
is blossoming and the word is getting out about our new
profession. As a pioneer in Dental Therapy in the Norton
Sound region, I was featured in many media publications
such as The Mukluk Telegraph, Anchorage Daily News, Kaniqsirugut
News and KTUU Channel 2 News.
I chose to expand my skills
and training from New Zealand in Savoonga which is located
on St. Lawrence Island, for many reasons. First of all,
my mother is Siberian Yupik, who was born in Savoonga.
I also have many relatives both in Savoonga and Gambell.
I had the desire to improve the quality of dental care
for the people of St. Lawrence Island. I also wanted to
learn more of the language and the culture. Living in
Savoonga has given me personal and professional growth
opportunities that I have gained. I have gained confidence
and skill in my abilities to provide an increased level
of healthcare in the Norton Sound region.
It would be a great honor
to become a part of history by becoming an All Alaska
Sweepstakes Queen. I feel confident that I would represent
the race with the utmost respect and pride. I appreciate
and look forward to your votes and support the opportunity
before me in my desire to become the All Alaska Sweepstakes
Queen for 2008.
