Katherine discovered an interest in geology while taking classes at her community college and was hooked after her first introductory science course. She is currently attending Pikes Peak Community College in Colorado Springs and is finishing her Associates degree in geology. She will be attending CU Boulder this fall to pursue a bachelor’s degree in geology. During this time, she hopes to narrow her field of study and eventually attend grad school to pursue a master’s degree.
