Meet Jasmin
Jasmin is participating in the fourth voyage of the Indigenous Time at Sea Scholarship. She is a proud Noongar woman with connections to Yued Country.
I grew up on Menang Boodja in Denmark, WA on a farm, a place that nurtured my deep connection to the land, sea, and all living things. I'm currently studying a Bachelor of Environmental Science and Management at The University of Western Australia. I'm passionate about caring for Country, Indigenous engagement, and environmental management. I'm especially interested in how we can bring together traditional ecological knowledge and Western science to create more sustainable and culturally informed environmental solutions.
The ocean is my happy place. I love exploring the incredible ecosystems beneath the surface and learning how interconnected they are with life on land.
I've had the opportunity to work across a range of environmental projects, including internships in the mining and energy sectors, placements with government departments, and participation in industry panels focused on mine closure and sustainability. I've also been fortunate to receive a number of scholarships that have supported both my studies and my commitment to community.
This voyage marks my first experience on a scientific research vessel, and I'm incredibly excited to get out on the water, gain hands-on field experience, and expand my understanding of ocean systems and their role in climate and ecosystem health. I'm especially eager to see how this large-scale research contributes to national conservation efforts, environmental management, and policy development.
Being part of the ITSS program means bringing my culture and curiosity together, learning from others, sharing knowledge, and hopefully inspiring other young Aboriginal students to see a future for themselves in science too.
