About Me

Welcome! I am Katrina, currently a Software Engineering Intern specializing as a Data Architect at PTx Trimble. My academic journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics from the University of Nevada, Reno, where I developed a profound passion for mathematics. Over time, my interests have expanded to encompass not only mathematics but also a deep fascination with the world of animals and, more recently, the exciting realm of robotics. This led me to earn my master’s degree in Data Science at the esteemed University of Colorado, Boulder where I worked in the Animal Inspired Movement and Robotics Laboratory (AIM-RL) under the guidance of principal investigator Kaushik Jayaram Ph.D..

During my time at CU – Boulder, I have discovered the perfect avenue to unite my diverse interests by specializing in the field of animal-inspired robotics within the Data Science domain. This unique focus allows me to merge my love for mathematics with my intrigue for the animal kingdom, creating a dynamic synergy in my academic pursuits. Additionally, I have had the privilege of honing my Data Science skills as a software engineering intern within Trimble’s agriculture sector, where I’ve gained invaluable real-world experience and insights into the application of data-driven solutions.

This website is designed to proudly showcase a selection of my accomplishments amassed over the years. These accomplishments span a diverse array of areas, including my notable achievements in the field of data science, various research ventures, and much more.

Beyond my academic pursuits, I lead a life filled with a wide range of interests and passions. When I’m not immersed in university studies or data-driven projects, you’ll often find me embarking on outdoor adventures. Backpacking, skiing, and dancing are among my favorites, each offering a unique avenue for self-expression and exploration. My love for dance runs deep, having performed as a company member with the Sierra Nevada Ballet and instructed at Creative Edge Dance Studio for several years. These activities not only enrich my life but also contribute to my growth as an individual.
