Bio
Greetings! My name is Kenneth Patten and I am currently a Senior in the Food Science Program. I am originally from Elm Grove, Wisconsin, and my favorite food es una torta de beefsteak or a simple beef sandwich with my grandmother always used to make for me.
I came to UW because of the excellent Food Science program offered here. Food Science is my dedicated major because I love how it blends the sciences with my unyielding passion for cuisine and creating delicious food products. The program is full of endless opportunities to grow and develop your professional skills at any level while also retaining a very welcoming sense of community.
My greatest experience so far has been getting a summer internship for a cheesemaking company and getting to experience what my future career could look like. There are also so many networking opportunities, free food, and friends I’ve made through the Food Science Club.
Currently, I am an executive board member of the Food Science Club as well as a Food Science Ambassador and am constantly trying to get more involved within the program. There is always something fun going on here in Babcock Hall!
