Aseena Allurut works for the Government of Nunavut as a Municipal Program Officer, and is presently on secondment to the Nunavut Municipal Training Organization. She was employed in the Office of the Minister of Health as an Executive Secretary/Assistant from 1999 until 2003.

Before moving to Iqaluit in 1998, she lived and worked in Arctic Bay on northern Baffin Island. She had worked as a Government/Municipal Liaison Officer for five years. Previously to that, she was living and working in Nanisivik from 1991 to 1993. She had also lived in Timmins, Ontario for five years, where she upgraded her academics and completed her Grade 12 equivalency. Her family has been working and living in Nanisivik from 1979 to 1995. Aseena went to school in Nanisivik from 1979 to 1982, but had to quit school because there was no high school in the community where she was and her parents did not want her to leave to attend high school in Iqaluit (known then as Frobisher Bay). She's held a variety of jobs since she was 14 years old.

Aseena's children and step-children are; Clark 16 (living with his father in Timmins, Ontario), Myles 13, Richard 12, Joshua 11 (step-son) and Natasha 13 (step-daughter, living with her mother in Pangnirtung, NU). Her husband, John Thomas, has just completed a 2 year Information Technology Diploma program at Arctic College and works in the same department in the Government of Nunavut.
