She’s passionate about disability justice, access, and community-centered systems change. Her own experiences trying to determine accessible birding opportunities while visiting all 50 states before she turned 50 years old made her acutely aware of the important work of Birdability and especially the Birdability Map, a resource she sorely needed back then, and is passionate about now!

Under her leadership, Birdability has grown its national presence and impact while staying grounded in joy, access, and the belief that the outdoors belongs to everyone. Cat lives in Iowa City, IA with her wife and partner, two indoor cats, and an ever-rotating cast of delightful backyard birds.
