Kate manages KER’s work on building heat resilience for mobile home residents. Her work focuses on researching how building environment can increase vulnerability to heat for different populations across the valley along with creating solutions to mitigate the heat. Through her studies and work at Knowledge Exchange for Resilience, Kate has co-published “Heat Solution Guide” with 50 solutions to mitigate the heat and conducted research examining heat resilience through the lenses of housing, building environment, utility assistance, and policy making. She is a member of the YouthMappers community since 2018. Kate has BA in Architecture and a MA in Urban and Environmental Planning. Before ASU she was an Architect managing architectural projects in Eastern Europe and Israel.
