Katrina is the Monitoring Network Coordinator for Puget Sound Partnership where she supports the Puget Sound Ecosystem Monitoring Program (PSEMP). PSEMP is a collaborative network of subject matter experts from many monitoring organizations and different parts of the region. Together, they generate, organize, synthesize, and communicate scientific information, across political and organizational boundaries, to track ecosystem conditions that directly address management and science questions critical to Puget Sound recovery. PSEMP includes work groups that focus on the nearshore habitat and impacts from efforts such as shoreline armoring, sea level rise, and changes in habitat.

Katrina received a master’s degree in environmental policy from Western Washington University and a bachelor’s degree in oceanography from the University of Washington. She was previously a facilitation consultant for a local consulting firm and a Washington Sea Grant Hershman fellow for the Nature Conservancy.
