Katie is passionate about improving planetary stewardship by safeguarding and restoring biodiversity. As the globe faces unprecedented rates of nature and biodiversity decline, it’s imperative these environmental setbacks are overcome through a collective societal effort toward nature-positive pursuits.
Using a holistic, systems-based approach for the betterment of human well-being, Katie specializes in applying cutting-edge eDNA tools to understand biodiversity baselines—this facilitates successful, cost-effective, and sustainable ecosystem restoration. She helps develop novel approaches that track restoration progress at different scales, assess opportunities for biodiversity gains, and focus management and mitigation efforts. Consulting on a variety of environmental projects, she works with our Nature-based Solutions team to implement and monitor solutions that integrate biodiversity and other co-benefits.
When she’s not employing nature-based solutions to improve environmental resiliency, Katie enjoys rock climbing and reading.
