New IAN Intern - Kate Bentsen

Kate started work at IAN this December as a Science Communication Intern, in her home state of Maryland. She graduated this May from Cornell University with a degree in Natural Resources, and spent the past five months in Washington State surveying streams in the Puget Sound. Past work experience has found her scattered across the country, working in stream systems of Montana and Idaho, the desert of New Mexico, and with salamanders in forest systems of upstate New York. When not in the field for work, Kate enjoys hiking, backpacking, reading, sending mail, and cooking.
