community’s quality of life and creating vibrant places starts with providing
people with equitable access to their open spaces, trails and riverfronts.
Within every project, Katie focuses on working with people in their places to
ensure the civic space is a true reflection of its community, culture,
diversity and residents. Aside from her career, Katie
enjoys exploring the sights and sounds of Pittsburgh by bike, gardening, dog walks and flyfishing for trout.
