Adam Aliqatuqtuq

Born in Iqaluit, and raised in the breathtaking landscapes of Qikiqtarjuaq, I've since made Iqaluit my home base, where I continue to be enchanted by the beauty of the North. My love for exploration knows no bounds, as I embark on journeys near and far, camera in hand, to capture the essence of each place I visit. From the tranquil shores of Arctic fjords to the bustling streets of faraway cities, I find solace and inspiration in the diverse tapestry of our world. Alongside my passion for travel, I thrive on the adrenaline of hiking through untamed wilderness, seeking out hidden gems and embracing the challenges of the trail. As I navigate through life's adventures, I am constantly reminded of the resilience and richness of the human spirit, fueling my desire to document and share the stories that unfold before me.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to engage in a diverse range of roles that have shaped my professional journey. From facilitating land-based education and adventure programming as a Nunavut Youth LEAP Outdoor Educator in Qikiqtarjuaq, NU, to specializing in confined space work as a Labourer (Tank Cleaner) across the Canadian North, I’ve honed my skills in safety, leadership, and efficiency.

My experience also includes providing administrative support for major projects like the North Warning System in Iqaluit, NU, and ensuring accurate data management within the Government of Nunavut’s finance department. Additionally, I’ve conducted fieldwork in remote national parks, managed inventory in a retail setting, and provided customer service and ramp assistance for a regional airline.

Throughout these roles, I’ve demonstrated adaptability, hands-on skills, and a commitment to safety and efficiency. Each experience has contributed to my growth and prepared me for the diverse challenges of the professional world.

In the Winter of 2023, I completed the Fundamentals of Leadership course offered by Algonquin College. This comprehensive program equipped me with essential leadership skills and strategies, enhancing my ability to effectively lead and collaborate within diverse teams. Through this course, I gained valuable insights into communication techniques, conflict resolution, decision-making processes, and motivating team members. I am excited to apply these newfound skills and knowledge to my professional endeavors, further contributing to my growth as a leader.
