About Us
Jessie Tinsley
I am the founder of Algae Research Labs, specializing in microscope-based identification and enumeration of phytoplankton to support water quality monitoring and research. My mission is to provide accurate, detailed, and timely analyses that help environmental professionals maintain healthy aquatic ecosystems.
Over the past eight years, I have honed a diverse set of skills—both through managing a busy household and building a specialized business from the ground up—including project management, client communication, laboratory methods development, and small business operations.
My background combines a passion for aquatic ecology with practical expertise in microscopy, scientific data collection, and technical reporting. I’m eager to collaborate with researchers, environmental organizations, and water quality professionals who share a commitment to advancing freshwater health.
Areas of Focus:
- Phytoplankton identification & taxonomy
- Microscopy techniques & sample analysis
- Water quality monitoring & reporting
- Small business management & client relations
Let’s connect to share knowledge, collaborate on research, or explore partnerships in water quality and ecological monitoring.
