Iris Sophia

Administrative Assistant

Hello community at St Mark, 

I am looking forward to meeting all of you! I had been praying for a job and new people to connect with and feel blessed to have found this position. 

I love living in Anchorage and spending time out on the trails and in the mountains no matter the weather with my 1 year old Siberian Husky Blossom. When indoors I love cooking hearty meals, sewing, knitting and mending/adjusting/transforming clothes and outdoor gear. One personal goal I have for this year is to step up my housekeeping game and make my home even more of a beautiful, comfortable, clean place for my growing family. 

You’ll find me in the office Tuesdays – Fridays 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. 

Thank you all for making me feel welcome here right away. 

Be well!
