Academic Interests: 

Kimi Grzyb is a PhD candidate in the Environmental Sciences Program at Oregon State University (OSU) and has been part of OSU's Bioenergy Education Initiative since Fall 2012.  She has a Professional Science Master’s degree in Applied Biotechnology from OSU, which combined a Molecular and Cellular Biology curriculum with business and communication courses.  Kimi served for 27 months as an Agro-forestry volunteer in a rural village in the Dominican Republic with the United States Peace Corps, and she has also worked as a hands-on science educator in her home state of Connecticut. Currently, her doctoral research includes developing a college-level bioenergy curriculum framework.  In addition to a high interest in sustainability, Kimi also enjoys yoga, cooking, and being surrounded by nature.
