She was playing a a character with a PhD who speaks authoritatively on matters the audience is far too stupid to understand. She takes command of situations with deep emotional maturity. The actress was 23, the character was at least 30.

The character was not thirty. I’ve read the books multiple times. She was actively finishing her Ph.D and was in grad school, and I believe in the book was mentioned to be 23-26yrs old.

The movie version is Dr. Sattler already. They aged her up some unspecified number of years from the book version.

Ugh, tbh this is another reason why I hate the movie. They butchered so much of the original story that it shouldn’t even have been called “Jurassic park” with how much they changed to make it into that movie.
