Hi! My name is Katherine and I use she/her pronouns. My preferred name is Kat. I'm currently pivoting from the civil engineering field into software development. My hobbies include taking care of my houseplants, mountain biking, and cooking. One interesting fact about me is that I met my husband in Spain on a study abroad trip when we were teenagers.

I take pride in my ability to tackle highly technical or ambigious endeavors with ease, even with limited previous experience. Paired with my detail oriented mindset, I am able to draw connections and understand underlying principals to make consistent forward progress toward my goals. I value leadership opportunities where I can share knowledge and train others to do the same.

I previously specialized in riverine and storm drainage hydrology and hydraulics as a water resourses project manager to support flood risk awareness and mitigation. I received my BS in Civil Engineering from Texas Tech University in 2014 and received my professional engineering license in the states of Texas and Colorado in 2018 and 2019, respectively. I look forward to applying the skills I've learned as an engineer, and my enjoyment of problem solving, into my future career as a software developer.
