Paige is a polar and deep-sea biologist whose work is expanding what is possible in some of Earth’s most remote and least accessible marine environments. Her discoveries on hadal amphipods, abyssal snailfish, Antarctic invertebrates, and Arctic ecosystems reflect her belief that exploration carries a responsibility: to seek understanding, to return with knowledge, and to share it openly. She is the co-founder and director of Polar BLAST, a research initiative that transforms vessels of opportunity into platforms for Arctic and Antarctic exploration uniting advanced subsea technology with species discovery, policy engagement, and public outreach. Through this work, she ensures that every voyage delivers meaningful science, rigorous data, and accelerates biodiversity discovery while striving to broaden participation and inspire others to understand and protect the world around them.
