Katherine was born in Knoxville, TN and received her undergraduate degree in biology
from Maryville College. Her passion for conservation began during that time when she
and her future husband hiked, camped, and rock climbed throughout the Southern
Appalachians. Katherine received her Master’s degree in biology from Eastern Kentucky
University where she focused her studies on aquatic systems. Katherine worked as an
adjunct professor at Maryville College, as a group facilitator, and as a Field Biologist for
the Tennessee Valley Authority before beginning her work in the non-profit sector. After
three years with a small non-profit in Georgia, Katherine was pleased to return to
Tennessee and work for The Nature Conservancy. Katherine has been with The Nature
Conservancy for six years and currently lives in Knoxville with her husband and new
baby boy.
