Katie Wingrove, PE

Every day when I come to work, my goal is to focus on sustainability by improving water quality to build healthier ecosystems and communities. My project work includes stormwater design, watershed studies, and developing compliance tools and guidance documents to support stormwater permittees. I also delve into ArcGIS and GPS technology to support spatial analysis, stormwater system mapping, deployment of field teams, and public involvement through interactive maps. Outside of work, you can find me plant shopping or at the ceramics studio on the potter’s wheel, usually covered in mud (which also sometimes happens at work).

Education:

B.S. Environmental Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology
M.S. Environmental Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology

Favorite Species:

Carnegiea gigantea (aka Saguaro Cactus). R-E-S-P-E-C-T. These tough desert dwellers are so different from every plant I ever stumbled across during my childhood in Georgia.

Hidden Talent:

Catching the Bainbridge ferry with 0.1 seconds to spare.
