Brief Biographical Sketch:

My name is Athena Flint, and I am a sophomore in Branford College at Yale University. Before starting college, I had several wonderful science teachers that instilled a love for chemistry and astronomy within me. Now, I wish to do for others what they did for me. I am a chemistry major and plan to research in the field of astrochemistry once I graduate. I hope to use this program not only as a way to interact with the city and community that I am very lucky to be a part of, but also as a way to spend a bit of time doing what I love.
