About Me
Hi, I'm Katelyn. I like to take on challenges, and get things done.
I very much enjoy working with others to deliver high-quality products and services. As a lifelong learner, I stay up to date on current industry trends such as AI and its impact on society to be effective in my work. In my personal life, I pursue learning skills and service opportunites related to social justice advocacy, and disaster preparedness.
I am from the Bay Area, a graduate of UC Berkeley with a degree in Anthropology and a minor in Linguistics, and a strategic project management certification from Rice University, Susanne M. Glasscock School of Continuing Studies. My gallery reveals that I may be a bit of a thrill-seeker!

For the past five years, I have been working with the following fantastic organizations.

For example, I took on the role of Incident Commander, directing resources, delegating responsibilities, and keeping track of all field reports.

Food Ed's mission is to create programs that utilize gardens to inspire community building, problem solving, and stewardship rather than just growing food.
