Abbie Shepard

YCC Co-Chair

After graduating with a bachelor’s in chemistry from St. John Fisher College in Rochester, New York, Abbie moved to Tucson in 2015 to pursue her PhD in pharmaceutical sciences with a focus in drug discovery and development at the University of Arizona.  After falling in love with the year-round sunshine, desert plants and animals, she decided to permanently relocate to Arizona and decided to get more involved with ACS at the regional and local level.  In her free time, Abbie enjoys camping, hiking, and biking around Arizona.
