Michelle Humphrey

Administrative Assistant

Michelle Humphrey joined Northern Economics, Inc. in February 2011. She graduated from the University of Northern Arizona with a BSBA in Marketing, but was born and raised in Alaska and is excited to be back in her home state.

Most commonly recognized as the friendly voice on the other end of the line, as an administrative assistant her responsibilities support many of the day to day operations that occur here at Northern Economics.

Michelle's answers to life's more important questions:

Claim to fame: I was born with the ability to run for extended amounts of time without tiring. It is not uncommon for people to make reference to Forest Gump when describing me and I have a bad habit of burning through running partners at an alarming pace. I may not be the fastest but if you give me enough distance I might give you a run for your money.

Great escape: My family’s cabin in Willow, Alaska. It is the backdrop to my fondest childhood memories and is the rendezvous point for all of my favorite outdoor activities ranging from tubing, kayaking and fishing in the summers to ice skating, snowmachining and x-country skiing in the winters.

Curious about: Everything! How do they make instant potatoes mashed potatoes taste so much like real potatoes? Do fish sleep? Why do people say heads up instead of duck!?

Why Alaska: I was born and raised in Alaska and it is the place I call home. The beautiful scenery, friendly people and endless supply of fun outdoor activities doesn’t hurt either.

Idea of fun: Kayaking, hiking, tubing, x-country skiing, snowmachining, fishing, playing bocce, tandem bike racing; pretty much anything I can do outdoors with friends and family is my idea of a good time.

Dream vacation: I have a running list of vacations that I plan to one day take that is growing to an unruly size. There are so many places that I haven’t been yet that it is difficult to pinpoint just one.

Best fish story: When I went fishing at the Russian River for the first time and the only fish that I caught (who I fondly refer to as Pacho) was about 3 inches from nose to tail and I only realized that I hooked him after I had been casting with him on my line for at couple of minutes.
