Katherine Medlock, HCP Project Director

Katherine was born in Knoxville, TN and received her undergraduate degree in biology from Maryville College.  Her passion for the Cumberland region began during that time when she and her future husband hiked, camped, and rock climbed in the region.  Katherine received her Master’s degree in biology from Eastern Kentucky University where she focused her studies on aquatic systems.  There she conducted her thesis research on a small stream within the Daniel Boone National Forest on the Cumberland Plateau.  Katherine worked as an adjunct professor at Maryville College, as a group facilitator, and as a Field Biologist for the Tennessee Valley Authority before beginning her work in the non-profit sector.  After three years with a small non-profit in Georgia, Katherine was pleased to return to the Cumberland region and work as the Executive Director of the Alliance for the Cumberlands.  Katherine has been with The Nature Conservancy for two years and continues to work in the Cumberlands and all over the State of Tennessee.
