Hi, I'm Kate.
I operate systems. I operated the power grid in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida. I operated two nuclear power plants. I directed volunteers at the Special Olympics North Carolina Summer Games. I bartended at BarrieHaus Beer Co. I learned Python and Java programming for data analysis and Android app development. I have bachelor's degrees in math and in technology development and management.
Here's some of my work.
Samples of Work
I designed a service management strategy for the GIS department at Duke Energy.

I made this ArcGIS map application to analyze multiple factors that would determine who would be most vulnerable during a flood event in Houston, Texas.
This web app shows evacuation routes in Houston, Texas, along with demographic information that displays the percentage of households without a vehicle. The darker blue sections show a higher percentage of households who do not have a vehicle. This information helps answer the question: "Where in Houston should evacuation assistance be provided during a hurricane event?"
The Layers and Legends tool provides more information about the data in the map. Click individual census regions to view pop-up information about that census tract, including the percentage of households without a vehicle.
The map in this app was created in ArcGIS with a Living Atlas layer of evacuation routes in Houston and a demographic information layer.
