With a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science and Geography from Victoria University of Wellington, Kate blends scientific knowledge with a passion for people and place.
Kate joined the Morphum team in 2013 and after a 4-year stint overseas, rejoined the team in 2025 based out of the Christchurch office. Her technical expertise spans restoration planting design, Stream Ecological Valuations (SEVs), watercourse assessments and pest management strategies — all underpinned by a strong commitment to ecological integrity and practical implementation.
In addition to her technical work, Kate is passionate about translating scientific knowledge into accessible, engaging experiences for schools and community groups through her work in the Wai Care and water sensitive communities’ programmes.
Out of the office Kate enjoys flying down hills on her bike, sea swims and a good comedy show.
