Hi there! I’m Katherine!
I am originally from the Boston area and graduated with a B.A. in chemistry with a minor in biochemistry from Carleton College (Northfield, MN) in 2021. I love sharing my science with everyone and strive to create inclusive communities in science and beyond! I am interested in science communication and have been involved in various K-12 outreach initiatives (more details here).
Outside of science, my hobbies include dancing (ballet, jazz, contemporary, and modern), knitting/crocheting, pilates, yoga, and ceramics. I also enjoy relaxing and exploring with my dog, Dinoflagellate (Dino for short).
