She has a decade of experience working in communications. At King’s College London, Katie worked with researchers to share findings and reports in a way that would engage the public and policymakers. She created marketing materials, organised events and wrote briefings for stakeholders.

What is your favourite place in Bristol? 
When I first moved to Bristol during the pandemic, I spent a lot of time exploring the meandering pathways of Arnos Vale Cemetery. This Victorian necropolis is a treasure trove of local history and stories, and a great place to spot wildlife.

I love how nature has been allowed to reclaim parts of the cemetery. It’s an incredibly peaceful place to while away a few hours.

What do you enjoy doing when you are not working? 
I like finding new walking routes to explore in the South West. My weekend plans usually involve packing sandwiches, lacing up walking boots and picking a path that’s off the beaten track.

I’m also a big reader, and can happily spend hours browsing the shelves of a second-hand bookshop.
