Kathryn was raised with three brothers and extended family in Raynesford, Montana, 35 miles east of Great Falls. Due to their parents’ passion for history and education, she gained an early appreciation for museums and the contributions they bring to the community. Kathryn moved to Bozeman in 2019 and graduated with a B.A. in History and a B.S. in Psychology with a minor in Anthropology from Montana State University in the spring of 2024.
Kathryn was a student worker in the Visitor Services department, where she became familiar with all that the Museum of the Rockies has to offer and the great community of members, visitors, volunteers, and staff that are all vital to the museum. She is thrilled to be able to help the museum more in her current role as Development and Membership Associate.
In her free time, Kathryn enjoys reading and buying books (two separate hobbies), cooking new recipes, and hiking with her fiancé and puppy.
