Su di Me

My name is Jesse Tungilik and I am Inuit from Nunavut. I've spent the majority of my life traveling and experiencing as much as I can. Luckily, I had parents that nurtured my wanderlust so as a kid they took me to Europe and to the far corners of the Americas.

As I got older, my desire to explore got stronger. I left my family at 15 and finished high school on Vancouver Island. I graduated at 16 and hit the road from there. I made my way to the likes of Scandinavia, Polynesia and even to Antarctica before I turned 20.

My curiosity and eagerness to try new things were also reflected in my professional life. I've been working since I was 14 and have tried out many different fields.

Over the years I have worked with Canadian Wildlife Service researchers in the lab and in the field, tracked the magnetic north pole, repaired and maintained medical equipment, volunteered with the Canadian Coast Guard, served as registrar of historic sites for the Territory of Nunavut and represented Canadian Inuit youth through Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami and the National Inuit Youth Council.

Currently, I work for Students on Ice, an organization that takes high school students from all over the world on educational expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctica. I'm a strong advocate of experiential learning and sustainability, so SOI has been a perfect fit for me.

I love the outdoors and when I'm home, I try to spend as much time hunting and being on the land as I can. I also love the ocean and going sailing and kayaking. I'm planning on learning how to build traditional Greenlandic and Baffin Island kayaks this spring and summer and I am very excited about it.

I'm passionate about a lot of issues in the north and around the world and always love meeting new people and hearing about cool projects, so if you have one, I'd like to know about it!
