Kathleen Schaefer

UC Davis, Ph.D. Candidate

Kathleen Schaefer is a passionate advocate for replacing our nation's antiquated flood control philosophy with a modern, science-based, data-driven, integrated flood risk management philosophy that builds resilient communities. After five years of "re-potting" in grad school at UC Davis, Kathleen is looking forward to finishing her dissertation and "blooming" over the next phase of her life. When she is not practicing her data analytics skills, you can find her outdoors hiking with her husband or cooking for friends and family in her kitchen.
