Katie is passionate about improving planetary stewardship by safeguarding and restoring biodiversity. As the globe faces unprecedented rates of nature and biodiversity decline, it¡¯s imperative these environmental setbacks are overcome through a collective societal effort toward nature-positive pursuits.
Using a holistic, systems-based approach for the betterment of human well-being, Katie specializes in applying cutting-edge eDNA tools to understand biodiversity baselines¡ªthis facilitates successful, cost-effective, and sustainable ecosystem restoration. She helps develop novel approaches that track restoration progress at different scales, assess opportunities for biodiversity gains, and focus management and mitigation efforts.
