Jasmine is an aquatic ecologist with extensive experience implementing research studies and conducting robust field surveys to sample aquatic organisms and measure physical habitat to better understand how to improve habitat for native fishes. She spent six years working as a biological technician monitoring and surveying fish communities and survival using beach seines, otter trawls, gill nets, fyke traps, rotary screw traps, PIT tags, snorkel surveys, carcass surveys, and electrofishers. She has also performed numerous laboratory methods such as otolith microstructure analysis, diet analysis, and macroinvertebrate identification. Her graduate work involved designing and implementing a project to investigate the effects of flow releases from Lewiston Dam (Trinity River, CA) on downstream drifting invertebrates as a food resource for juvenile salmonids, where she was able to combine her research interests in altered stream flows and food web ecology. Jasmine is also proficient in using programming software to organize, analyze, and visualize quantitative and spatial data, including R, ArcGIS, and Adobe Illustrator.
