about me

Hi! I'm Kate. I'm a spatial data analyst with a background in environmental and energy systems, land use and urban planning, and public policy research.

I'm passionate about making data accessible and useful to all communities. I love using my quantitative and qualitative analysis skills to understand complex issues, identify intervention opportunities, and implement creative and equitable solutions — especially in cities and at the local level.

I'm a recent graduate of the Master of Urban Spatial Analytics program at the University of Pennsylvania. Check out some of my research, writing, and analysis below.
