Kristen Moon
Founder and CEO
Kristen founded Rising Researchers to fill a gap she saw with her aspiring BS/MD and Medical School candidates. Many research experiences were not open to younger students. Others lacked clear deliverables and often the experience was not worth the time and energy. Rising Researchers is a customizable research experience, with clear deliverables, and a STEM focus.
