Liz Jasper

Elizabeth Gwendolyn Jasper, colloquially known as Liz to her colleagues, is a fairly recent enlistee into Starfleet. She is a graduate of the University of Georgia on Earth, and ran a private family practice in her hometown of Macon, Georgia for twenty years with her husband, Doctor Elliott Jasper. Liz developed a reputation for being firm and straightforward, and combines a sharp and biting sense of humor with genuine love and regard for her patients. After separating from her husband, Liz decided that she was ready for new challenges, and enrolled in Starfleet Academy to study xenobiology and find work aboard a starship. She worked for Starfleet Medical for a year before accepting her very first starship assignment, the USS Merrimack. She is still getting her space legs, and is learning to adapt to life in space after spending the majority of her life on Earth.
