Kristen Patterson | Student Spotlight Fourth-year chemistry PhD candidate Kristen Patterson has always had an interest in the environment, sustainability, and environmental racism. Growing up in Florida and Jamaica, Patterson was constantly exposed to environmental disasters. She and her family would find small ways to help during disaster strikes. Wanting to continue making an impact, Patterson chose chemistry to pursue her education. “I wanted to continue helping, and it naturally led me to do a [related] science project, working on oil spill cleanups and taking summer opportunities to do research. My interest grew from there.” |
