After being raised on a farm in New Jersey, Katie migrated to Pennsylvania to attend Gettysburg College, from which she received her B.A. in Sociology, with accompanying minors in Education and English. As part of that education, she interned at ThorpeWood and afterward refused to leave. And so, in time, she was adopted as one of the farm animals, a barefoot creature who subsists on mud and sunshine. Given these muddy roots, Katie is passionate about bringing children and adults alike into her world of buttercups and bugs.
On the home front, Katie and her husband, Alec, cohabitate with a variety of cute creatures, including a small pack of dogs (Ruby, Chester, and June) and two little girls (Josie and Ivy).
Katie is a certified forest therapy guide through The Forest Therapy School.

I have been at ThorpeWood for 7 years, growing the outdoor education curriculum. I have worked with all ages, from preschoolers to senior citizens.
All of work centers around the following mission: I nurture therapeutic relationships with the natural world, to promote empathy, wonder, and restoration.
