Jillian Martin

Education and Outreach Coordinator

Jillian grew up in Ontario, where she spent her summers splashing in lakes. She was 24 when she first encountered the Pacific Ocean and it was love at first sight. After graduating from the University of Toronto with an Honours B.A. in Environmental Studies, she decided to make the move to the West Coast in 2016. Happiest with the sun on her face and her feet in the water, Jillian strongly believes in the value of place-based environmental education and feels extremely lucky to have as beautiful a place as Victoria to draw lessons from. Through Seaquaria Ocean Education she aims to develop children’s knowledge of marine ecology, and inspire a sense of wonder and respect for the incredible environment of the Pacific Ocean.
