I am Kaitlyn Behrendt, and I am preparing to graduate with a BS in Environmental Science specifying in Geology! I currently reside in Maple Valley Washington, in a multigenerational home, where I love to take walks with my mom and watch Disney movies!

I was fortunate to be taught by Dr. Bill my freshman year at WSU, and he pushed me to be a better scientist which sparked my interest more in ecological systems. This led me to find out that I love rocks, the history of geological make-up, and how these systems come together to create our natural world!

I am passionate about teaching others about geology and the environment, and I plan on continuing with my education after graduating from WSU to achieve my PhD!

A couple of fun facts about me are that my freshman year I got to be on the field at the Alamo Bowl in 2018, and I was lucky enough to be Disney Cast Member before COVID struck (I was “friends” with Chip N’ Dale, Mr. Penguin from Mary Poppins, Dug from Up, Winnie the Pooh, and Buzz Lightyear!)
