STEM Ambassadors

The STEM Ambassador Program began in 2016 as a training program for a small cohort of University of Utah scientists. Since then, we have grown to work with over 170 graduate students, post-docs, faculty, staff, and undergraduate students. Scroll down to learn about the scientists who have participated. Contact us if you would like to reach out to a STEM Ambassador.

Note that many Ambassador bios were uploaded when the Ambassador joined the program and may not be current.

She is working towards the total synthesis of a natural product that has interesting biological activity and hopes to be able to further explore its biology once the synthesis is complete. Kendahl is from Arizona and received degrees in Chemistry and Biomedical Science from Northern Arizona University. When she’s not in the lab, Kendahl enjoys hot yoga, paddle boarding, attending concerts, and exploring new restaurants with friends.
