Caroline Sutton

Caroline is a first-year MPH student in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at the Yale School of Public Health. She is interested in how climate-related exposures and environmental inequalities influence the health outcomes of populations, and how mitigation and adaptation strategies can be used to protect and enhance the health of communities most vulnerable to climate impacts. Caroline developed an interest in public health research while working in women’s population health promotion and in drowning prevention. She received a Bachelor of Science in Integrated Sciences from the University of British Columbia in 2020, and worked at a mental health nonprofit prior to pursuing her graduate studies.
