Kat was a former Platte Basin Timelapse producer. Born and raised in Nebraska, Kat loves a good story. She's learned technical skills on the fly - usually in another country - from a visual anthropology course in Bolivia, to a gig with the first independent radio station in Bhutan. Gradually she's honed in on video to communicate scientific research, rural issues, and stories related to our food system. Kat has a graduate degree in agroecology and applies that knowledge in a practical way in her Lincoln neighborhood where she grows food and keeps bees. Her favorite parts of living back in Nebraska are the sounds - and the silence. Kat worked on the PBT project from January to May 2015.
