Civil Engineering
Kaitlyn is pursuing her PhD in civil engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder with a focus in hydrology, water resources and environmental fluid mechanics. In 2021, she graduated summa cum laude with a BS in environmental engineering from the University of Alabama. Her previous experience spans many disciplines, including civil engineering site design, natural hazards research and the application of engineering principles to public policy development. Her current interest lies in the relationship between data-driven hydrologic models, the growing instability and uncertainty of the water cycle, and the timely and effective application of watershed management strategies.
