Amber M. Kelley is a National Institutes of Health T32 fellow and PhD candidate working with Dr. Kimberly Petersen. She earned a BS degree in Chemistry from St. Norbert College in De Pere, WI and joined the T32 program having already devoted two years to undergraduate research in the laboratory of Dr. Kathleen Garber. Her dissertation research at UNC Greensboro focuses on the development of new asymmetric reactions to create chiral products. The synthesis of compounds that have enantiomerically pure fully substituted chiral centers is a major challenge in synthesis and Amber has worked on multiple projects that address this challenge. Amber will graduate with her PhD in August of 2020 and has secured a Postdoctoral Research Associate position with Dr. Kevin Frankowski at UNC Chapel Hill.
Amber loves to spend time with her dog Raleigh outside of lab. She enjoys many outdoor activities such as camping, fishing, and going for jogs. She also has a creative side which involves drawing, journaling, and cooking.
