Welcome!

I’m Katie, a seasoned customer support wizard with 10+ years of turning frowns upside down and solving problems like a pro. Freshly armed with data analytics superpowers—think Excel ninja, SQL sleuth, Python whisperer, and Tableau storyteller—ready to tackle challenges and turn numbers into "aha!" moments.

I’m eager to apply these skills in the outdoor recreation, health & wellness, environmental, and education sectors. My goal is to use data-driven insights to enhance community health, promote sustainable practices, and improve outdoor recreational activities.

Outside of work, I’m an avid outdoor enthusiast who loves hiking and camping. I’m also committed to a healthy lifestyle and advocate for wellness practices that support both physical and mental health. My dedication to these interests fuels my professional drive to contribute to a healthier, more sustainable world.

As I embark on this new chapter in my career, I’m excited to collaborate with innovative organizations where I can apply my analytical skills and client-centric approach to make a meaningful impact.
