BIO

Cassandra Ellis is a senior human resources coordinator and recruitment specialist. Prior to joining ACEP as a full-time HR coordinator in 2023, she served for six years in the same role for the UAF Geophysical Institute (GI), handling HR processes from timesheets and softledger—a system to check payroll using TOAD, Banner and an excel spreadsheet—to recruitments, advertising and career fairs. Over the years, she has provided HR support to a variety of shared departments across “West Ridge,” or the west side of the UAF campus with science research and teaching facilities, including the International Arctic Research Center, College of Natural Science and Mathematics, College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences and the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, in addition to GI and ACEP.

While at the GI, Ellis participated in the GI Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity committee and wrote over 16 DEI articles for the GI weekly newsletter.

Ellis received a bachelor’s degree in art from UAF in 2017 with a focus in painting and drawing. She finds Fairbanks to be her home after living in Alaska for over 17 years.
