Kate is a distributional ecologist with a strong interest in conservation science and the broader field of biodiversity informatics. She is also a strong advocate for open-access biodiversity data and resources and is increasingly involved in the biodiversity data standardization arena.
Before earning her PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Kansas (2020), Kate worked as reptile keeper at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm in Florida. She also spent time as an environment and natural resource volunteer in The Gambia with the U.S. Peace Corp and as a field biologist on a Gate’s Foundation grant seeking to understand the vector biology of visceral leishmaniasis in India. Her PhD work focused on enhancing ecological niche modeling methods to predict more accurately distributions of highly mobile and migratory species.
Although she has an affinity for the weird or not-so-cuddly species, Kate now works with Map of Life to map all of our global biodiversity.
