Kaitlin Haley, Kenai Backcountry Lodge Manager

Although a California girl at heart, Kaitlin has made her mark in Alaska, having held every position at our remote Kenai Backcountry Lodge since 2012, from hospitality to guiding and now leading up our crew as Lodge Manager. In addition to her talents keeping the lodge running smoothly, she’s also attained her 25-ton Inland Masters License, after spending much quality time on the waters of Skilak Lake and in Resurrection Bay near Seward. She feels lucky to spend most of the year in Alaska but spends part of the winter in Chico, CA where she attended college. One of her favorite Alaska memories was a kayaking and backpacking trip last year to Skilak Glacier, where she got engaged.

Lily Murolo, Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge Manager

Lily grew up in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts and has always been interested in the travel and hospitality industry. While attending college at the University of Vermont, she worked for many years in local restaurants. After college, Lily set out to travel and caught the “seasonal worker bug.” In 2016, she began her first job in Alaska at a heli-ski resort in Valdez and fell in love with the natural beauty of the state. Shortly after, she spent her first summer at Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge starting in the hospitality department. While seasonal work has brought her to many stunning corners of the world – Hawaii, Oregon, Colorado, and Southeast Asia to name a few – Aialik Bay (near Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge) has truly captured her heart. After five seasons of working out at the Glacier Lodge – three of which in the Lodge Management role – she is proud to work for an inclusive, environmentally responsible and supportive company that genuinely cares for its employees.

Nick Beaudoin, Alaska Adventures Program Manager

Nick grew up outside of Boston, MA, earning his BBA in Operations Management. He was always a good ol’ boy, following the corporate path laid out for him, until one day he quit it all to pursue a life of travel and adventure. After extended backpacking trips to Southeast Asia and South America, Nick found his new career in Tour Guiding. He began leading camping trips across North America, with dreams of Alaska always on the horizon. Nick’s free time is spent expanding his comfort zone. He has lived by the beach in California, on a houseboat in DC, and in a cabin in Vermont. He has ridden a motorbike through Vietnam, backpacked through Patagonia, and published a children’s book, encouraging kids to face their fears through travel. Nick has held various positions with AWA over the years – from guide to lodge manager – and he enjoys supporting our guide and operations teams in his new role as the Adventures Program Manager.
