Annika Krafcik

Annika Krafcik first came to Sitka as a participant in the Sitka Cello Seminar in 2018. After falling in love with Sitka that summer, Annika decided to come back the following year and work for the Fine Arts Camp as a prep cook and later sous chef. She returned to Sitka in the summers of 2021, 2022, and 2023 to volunteer with the Fine Arts Camp and play in the pit for musical theater camp. She now lives in Sitka full time as a law clerk for the Sitka Superior Court. She likes to think of herself as a lawyer by day and musician by night.

​Annika graduated from Oberlin College and Conservatory in 2020 with a Bachelor of Arts in History and Russian and Eastern European Studies and a Bachelor of Music in Cello Performance. In 2021, she enrolled in UCLA School of Law with the express goal of gaining the knowledge and skills needed to be a successful legal advocate for communities in Alaska. This goal led her to specialize in Environmental Law, Native Nations Law and Policy, and International and Comparative Law. She graduated from UCLA with these specializations in May 2024.
