Kaitlin Fackler Engagement Intern 2021

Kaitlin Fackler

Engagement Intern Spring 2021

Growing up in Loveland, Ohio, Katie and her family developed an interest in bird watching after their small feeder became overwhelmed by a growing avian community, and was upgraded to a 12ft bird buffet by her Dad. As new birds began to visit, Katie developed an interest in their names, habits, and migration patterns, leaning on Audubon's resources to help her learn. After she began her undergraduate career at the Ohio State University in 2017, she took classes from economics to acting, in an attempt to find her “true calling”. It wasn’t until after she signed up for the Ohio birds class in her sophomore year that she realized how much she enjoyed learning about nature. She immediately entered into the environmental science major with a specialization in ecosystem restoration and joined the Society for Ecological Restoration at OSU where she serves as club secretary. Katie aspires to build a career designing environmental education resources, available in a variety of learning styles, to reach people of all demographics and ages interested in nature and science, following her graduation in the Spring of 2021. 

In her free time, Katie enjoys reading, crafting, baking, hiking, and spending time with her friends and family.
