Bio: Cathy is interested in biology, environmental science and policy, and development studies. She is eager to combine these interests to address the issue of climate change and pollution on the environment. She wants to understand how changes in the chemical composition of the atmosphere as a result of human activities, such as combustion, deforestation, and pollution influence climate variability which adversely impacts biodiversity in the ecosystem. Cathy loves doing research and spent her summer doing an environmental justice project in her home country. On campus she is programming chair in Duke Africa, a Kenan Fellow, and is a member of Duke Chorale. In her free time, she loves to dance, sing, play guitar, play soccer, or go to the gym. Her future goals are a lot, but overall she wants to emerge victorious in the path that she has chosen to take academically.
