About Me
I am lucky to have a job that supports my enthusiasm and fascination for the natural world. I am a scientist, PhD student, outdoor enthusiast and overall biophile. I am currently studying the ecology and evolution of a drought resilient, highly variable, wildflower species, Clarkia unguiculata, in Dr. Susan Mazer's lab at UC Santa Barbara.
I am happiest outside. Running, surfing, swimming and enjoying all of the plants and creatures of California.

How Bees See it
August 7, 2018
Receiving a 2018 CCS Summer Undergraduate Fellowship enabled Kristen Klitgaard, a third-year CCS Biologist, to dedicate her summer to UC Santa Barbara's Mazer lab. Kristen is one of 36 students who earned 2018 CCS Summer Undergraduate Fellowships. Completely supported by donors, each recipient is currently working in one of UCSB's top labs or creating creative works of art.
