Her background in sustainability and passion for ameliorating ecosystem and human health fuel her research and studies in the College.
“Through this fellowship, I was able to continue in my research this summer. I learned many new laboratory skills, but outside of the lab I also learned more about community development projects from the Plant tour, I learned more about how energy companies create and use power from the Grand Ridge tour, and I learned from the lunch and learns about environmental changes both at UChicago and globally. “
