Katie recently joined the Bend office from Atlanta, GA, where she received a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering and a master’s degree in transportation systems engineering from Georgia Tech. Her passion for transportation systems ignited during a semester exchange to the National University of Singapore, where she had the opportunity to learn more about the key role of public transportation in an island city-state. While at Georgia Tech, Katie was part of the Infrastructure Research Group and Smart Community Corps. Her research as a master’s student focused on long-term transportation planning under deep uncertainty. At Kittelson, Katie is involved in a wide variety of both planning and design projects. Outside of work, Katie spends her time exploring the PNW by hiking, biking, camping, and enjoying street tacos.
