Jessie is a Colorado State University scientist from Fort Collins, Colorado. She served as a research scientist aboard the MOSAiC Arctic Expedition on its first leg. Her science focus was collecting air, seawater, sea ice, and snow samples throughout the expedition to better understand how pollutants are impacting the Arctic.

The MOSAiC (Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate) Expedition was the largest Arctic expedition in history. An international team of scientists who intentionally locked the icebreaker Polarstern into dense, winter sea ice and drifted across the Arctic polar region for an entire year!
