Naylor graduated from UAF in 2008 and was very involved with RSS. Her degree was in rural development with an emphasis in community organizations and services. She spent the past five years working in Anchorage. Naylor's most recent position was as a project assistant with the Inuit Circumpolar Council-Alaska. Prior to that, she was the administrative assistant for the UA Anchorage College of Education.
