About Kathryn
Kathryn grew up on a farm in southwest Missouri where she and her siblings helped raise horses and cows.
She moved to Chicago after high school and studied environmental policy at Loyola University Chicago and graduated with my Master's Degree in Environmental Science and Sustainability in 2025. Kathryn was an intern here at Elawa in 2025 and have been in her current position since February 2026. In college, she participated in Loyola's Urban Agriculture program which taught her about small-scale market gardening and building a sustainable food system at the community level.
Kathryn is very proud to work for an organization with a mission that she believes in and can stand behind.
