(She/Her)
Manager of Communications & Outreach

Katherine “Kat” Thomas was raised in Birmingham, AL just miles away from the most historical landmarks of the Civil Rights movement. She earned a B.A. in sociology from Samford University with special interests in public health and youth development. Desiring to be an educator outside of the traditional classroom, Kat has worked as a Physical Education teacher (K-5), Special Education teacher for adults with disabilities, and a soccer coach in western Uganda. Being a curious and hands-on learner herself, Kat thrives when surrounded by nature, culture, and history. She is thrilled to be a part of the Live It Learn It team where she can cultivate that curiosity in the hearts and minds of young students right here in Washington, DC. When Kat is not working, you can find her training for a long race, birdwatching with her husband, or adding more houseplants to her endless collection.
