Veronica joined the Russell lab in summer 2020 as an undergraduate student majoring in Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences and minoring in chemistry. She is interested in investigating the potential sources of secondary organic aerosols and their distribution in the atmosphere, chemical reactions that lead to particle formation and growth, and the climate-altering properties of aerosols as she continues here as a PhD student. In her free time, Veronica enjoys taking care of her cat and dog, Mister Pancho and Ruby.
