JasperKota is currently attending Transit Middle School in the Lake-Niagara region of New York. She has participated in Science Olympiad for two years in Division B, and plans to continue participating in the future.

2015-2016
During the 2015 season, JasperKota participated in three events: Invasive Species, Dynamic Planet, and Crave the Wave. At regionals she managed to place first in Invasives, as well as Dynamic Planet, despite getting less than 50% correct on the test for the latter. She decided to drop Crave the Wave at regionals.

At states she placed 9th in Invasive Species, 20th in Dynamic Planet, and 22nd in Crave the Wave. JasperKota admits that she was probably one of the most useless members of the team during this season, although she has a knack for copy and pasting words into a google document titled "Invasives".

2016-2017
During this season, JasperKota again participated in three events. After doing only study events during her first year, Jasper wished to do a build, and so chose the following events: Invasive Species, Wright Stuff, and Ecology. She decided after the previous season to become one of the most helpful members of the team, and believes she has succeeded in doing so.

Jasper placed first in Invasive Species and Wright Stuff with a time of 1 min 20 seconds at regionals. Her team decided to last-minute drop Ecology after discovering that only five teams were participating in Mission Possible at the competition. Transit Middle qualified for the New York State Tournament after winning the regionals competition.

At the state competition Jasper earned a bronze medal in Invasive Species and a silver medal, missing gold by a margin of one or two seconds, in Wright Stuff (1 min 39). She placed in the twenties for Ecology, despite believing she did okay after the test.
