Kate graduated with a degree Comparative Literature and then went directly into the woods and the wonderful world of environmental education. She has experience in residential camps, in international environmental education, and as a middle school science teacher for students learning English. She holds a Master’s in Teaching from Lewis and Clark College, and has both participated in and led trainings in outdoor science practices, SEL, and science for multilingual students. She is thrilled to be at a job that allows her to teach about wastewater, stream health, freshwater macroinvertebrates and occasionally to catch snakes. Off the clock, Kate loves everything outdoors and is working hard to replace her lawn with the native plants of the Pacific Northwest.
IslandWood acknowledges that we live and work on the ancestral land of the Coast Salish people, who have been stewards of this region's land and waters since time immemorial, and who continue to protect these lands and waters for future generations, as promised by the Point Elliott Treaty of 1855, the Treaty of Point No Point of 1855, and the Treaty of Medicine Creek of 1854.
While the majority of our work takes place on Suquamish (suq̀ʷabš) and Duwamish (dxʷdɐwʔabʃ) land, we also conduct programs on the land of the Snohomish (sduhúbʃ), Puyallup (spuyaləpabš), Muckleshoot (buklshuhls), Skokomish (sqoqc’bes), and S’Klallam (nəxʷsƛ̕ay̕əm) peoples.
