Katie came to the District in September 2008 with a 10-year background in natural area restoration, leading youth work crews, and managing education and outreach programs for local parks and recreation districts, and watershed councils. Her primary responsibilities at EMSWCD were originally workshop coordination and events management. Throughout her tenure, she has moved into areas of program evaluation and planning. Her key areas of focus with the Urban Lands program include:

• Program planning, evaluation and implementation
• Data collection and analysis
• Project management
• Managing the adult conservation workshop program
• Overseeing the Annual Native Plant Sale

Katie is our go-to person in the “way” we work, especially in areas of program and project planning, tracking and reporting. She also provides guidance and insight to other organizations, offering her expertise in developing and refining education and outreach plans. Her work at the District allows her to combine her love for program planning and logistics with community outreach and education. In her free time Katie enjoys running, biking, and hanging out with her family and friends.
