Katie joins the UAA team as an Intern Architect. She holds a Master of Architecture from the University of British Columbia and a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from McGill University. Between degrees, Katie worked in both architecture and outdoor education in Ontario. 

Katie believes in the importance of creating meaningful public spaces that relate strongly to their users and surroundings. She is interested in how the built environment can engage with and address both social and environmental issues; using design to strengthen communities.

She is passionate about the outdoors and tries to spend her free time in a tent, on a trail or in a canoe.
