Student Spotlight

Jessie Lilly

M.Sc. candidate. Studying marine biology at Acadia University’s Coastal Ecology lab under Dr. Michael Stokesbury.

For Jessie, holiday trips to Vancouver Island, charter fishing excursions with her dad and becoming a certified diver at the age of 15 sparked her interest in marine ecology. These experiences made her aware of the tough balance between sustaining fisheries and preserving ecosystems, leading her to want to pursue fisheries science.
