Katie is an ambitious hardworking enthusiastic architect and mentor who is passionate about making the built environment accessible to all. She is keen to collaborate with others to empower and engage people in the built environment. Alongside her mentoring roles, she has been invited to speak to schools and universities throughout my career, on a variety of topics most notably Kings College London on how to create inclusive and sustainable cities.
Katie is currently a Young Trustee with the Architecture Foundation, a collective set up to give a platform to underrepresented voices in the built environment.

"Being on the Fluid mentoring programme with Katie has definitely made me more confident, and more aware of things that are in my favour. She’s given me an understanding of how to go about achieving my goals, building a network and finding my place in the built environment."
