Katie grew up in Columbus, Ohio and earned her BS in Materials Science and Engineering at The Ohio State University in 2015. She then went onto a PhD in Engineering at the University of Cambridge (completed in 2019) as a Cambridge Trust scholar, working with Prof. Julian Allwood on end-of-life steel recycling. Achievements she is particularly proud of include receiving the Goldwater scholarship, authoring the Top Policy paper in Environmental Science and Technology (2017), and working with a team to extract copper and iron from ore using only electricity in Professor Antoine Allanore’s lab. She is a third-generation metallurgist and wants to spend her career improving the management of Earth’s resources.
