Environmental Career Chats are informal networking opportunities for U-M students to connect with environmental professionals about their career journeys. October’s virtual Environmental Career Chat is focused on Conservation Science & Management and Environmental Mapping & Technology with Kaitie Benedek, Forestry Technician.

Kaitie graduated from the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources in 2017 with a degree in Program in the Environment, concentration in Restoration Ecology, and minor in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Post graduation, she spent a summer in Wyoming working for the Bureau of Land Management, and then a year in Texas with the Army Corps of Engineers before moving to Oregon for my current job as a Forestry Technician with the Bureau of Land Management. She is passionate about restoration, environmental justice, and advocacy and spends her free time hiking in the Cascades and talking to people about trees.
