Kat's Bio

Kat (she/her) hails from Calgary and spends most weekends hiking, camping, riding horses, or cross country skiing!

Inspired by the enjoyment of the outdoors and her passion for the environment, she attended Lakehead University and received an Honours Bachelor of Outdoor Recreation where she studied accessible recreation, expedition management, and rural tourism.

Kat loves teaching about wetlands and watersheds especially, so be ready to nerd out about aquatic invertebrates if you give her the chance.
