Biography
Ellen Halverson, 55, was born and raised in
North Dakota. She received her degree in Biology
and Music Education at Concordia College in
Minnesota and then went to medical school in North
Dakota. She has been a psychiatrist since 1991. She
moved to Alaska in 1998 for a job at the Alaska
Guidance Clinic, which is now Providence Behavioral
Medicine. Ellen began mushing when she moved to
Alaska and finished the Iditarod in 2007. “In
many ways, I ‘m not a newcomer to Iditarod. I
feel like I have so much to learn and master to
complete Iditarod successfully. There are always
many things that affect the Iditarod, the weather,
the trail, health of the dogs. I feel I can do a
better job of preparing myself and the dogs for
this adventure. I am the most content when I am out
with the dogs. I have not been successful in
completing Iditarod in my last two attempts. So I
am back this year with my furry friends to
“get ‘er done.” “The help and
support I received on the trail is heartwarming and
much appreciated .” Ellen has a son, Peter,
age 12. She lists her hobbies as Icelandic horses,
fitness, health and biohacking
