Sunniva’s Story is one of a lifetime exploring, teaching, and advocating for the planet. From teaching outdoor skills and leading groups to higher heights, to broadening our knowledge through Citizen Science, to engaging school children to inspire young minds, Sunniva has consistently used her resources to enhance the learning and inspiration of others to get out, experience, and care for our beautiful, wild, yet fragile planet.

Leading by Example: Sunniva has long practiced and promoted Inclusive Leadership Ideals. She generously shares her insights about self-empowerment that she has gained through her extraordinary personal experiences. She champions the possibilities for women and girls as fervently as she champions the Polar Regions where she has spent so much of her life.

How she sees herself:  “I can be called many things but what I would like to be known for is rather simple- a woman standing up for what she believes in, a woman who dares to be herself because everyone else is taken.”
