Kaitlyn Barton

Hi, I’m Kaitlyn Barton, Class of 2026. I’m a Biochemistry major and Statistics minor and interested in applying to medical school post-graduation. Because of my interest in medicine, I was drawn to organic chemistry research, especially related to synthetic and medicinal chemistry. I started working with Dr. Tartakoff, on my current project as a 2025 summer fellow. As a fellow, I was able to gain a lot of experience working in the organic chemistry lab, and plan to continue this project through the upcoming ‘25-’26 academic year. For extracurricular activities, I’m on the Women’s Soccer team, Vice President of Athletes for Athletes, a Peer Tutor, and the Facilities Director of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.
