OUR TEAM
Jaime Grimm (she/her)
​​
I'm an assistant professor in the biology department at the University of Victoria. My research interests are responsive to the needs of our research partners, and generally include questions around marine fisheries, population ecology, disease ecology, and biodiversity governance.
​
I'm a first-generation university learner and of mixed western European and Manitoba Saulteaux heritage.​ I grew up on the west coast of Canada and attribute my love for nature to the fortunate location of my upbringing. When I'm not doing or talking science, I'm likely to be found hiking, climbing, beading or knitting. Google scholar | CV
Claudia Tersigni (she/her)​​
I am a Masters student focusing on early marine survival bottlenecks in WCVI Chinook salmon, particularly related to seasonal pathogen prevalence. My work is in partnership with the Mowachaht/Muchalaht First Nation, whose territory this work is being conducted. Since graduating from Quest University with a B.A & Sc., with a focus on marine biology, I have worked as a fisheries biologist with the Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council and as a stewardship biologist with the Ha’oom Fisheries Society.
