Why I Work at ACS
My grandmother was a 25-year breast cancer survivor, and I always wanted to do something in Public Health. When the opportunity at ACS came along, I knew it was where I wanted to start my professional career. I love that I get to work with our Cancer Prevention Study participants. They are the core of our research, and I am fortunate to have the opportunity to help them each day.”
At ACS since 2015
An Associate Scientist II in the Study Management group in Population Science, Tiffany Patterson, MPH, is responsible for communicating with people who participate in the ACS Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3).
