Katy has听joinned Penn State University in January 2022. For updated information, please visit her听听at Penn State.

Education Background

Katy received her B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Denver in 2013, where she also played for the university鈥檚 D1 women鈥檚 soccer program. At DU, she graduated Summa Cum Laude with departmental distinction,听was elected into the Phi Beta Kappa society for excellence in the liberal arts and sciences, and was named First Team听COSIDA Academic All-American for Women's Soccer in the 2011-12 season. In 2015, she received her M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California at Berkeley. Her master鈥檚 research focused on the environmental impact analysis and co-design of culturally-centered homes with a California Native American tribe, the Pinoleville Pomo Nation. Before joining CU Boulder, Katy worked at the Boulder Engineering Company for three years where she designed electrical and mechanical systems for multi-family residential and commercial buildings across the United States.
