Sam is a polar adventure guide and arctic researcher originally from Gatineau, Québec, now living in Nova Scotia. She holds a Master of Science in Northern Studies from Carleton University, where she focused on the social, political and environmental realities of remote northern regions. Strangely in love with cold oceans for such a landlocked childhood, she has been working on ships since 2014, and scuba diving and kayaking for even longer. When she can’t get herself to the sea or lost in the wilderness, she’s sharing her experiences and passion for those incredible places, engaging folks young and old into protecting and enjoying nature. She strongly believes that understanding and experiencing the environment is key to protecting it. Building the next generations of polar stewards will be a labour of hope, brought forth by love and respect for this planet we call home.
