Ronnie Rosenberg is known for her volunteer work in Fairbanks and with those in need. She has a number of skills to draw on. Trained as a nurse, she practiced in a war zone, and on the streets of New York. Later, she decided she needed other challenges and went to law school and practised law for a number of years. Here in Fairbanks, she is on the Golden Heart Community Foundation. But it is probably through her work with animals that she is best known. She heads up the Fairbanks Animal Shelter Fund Board. Indeed, this year the students of UAF’s Department of Veterinary Medicine recognized her work with an award.
