Andrea hails from the heart of “Big Sky country”: Big Sky, MT. In 2005, she received her Bachelors of Science from MSU-Bozeman, with a degree in Ecology and Evolution. Her wildlife research career has taken her from studying the human-elephant conflict in the Okavango Delta in sub-Saharan Africa, to conducting surveys, point-counts, and behavioral observations for different breeding bird biology projects throughout the American West . The diversity of the Greater Yellowstone area inspired her to build a career here, where she has been guiding for three years, and ski and snowboard instructing for seven. Her interest in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem revolves around community dynamics and how populations interact with one another. When she is not on safari in Yellowstone, she can be found birding, fishing, and hiking with her dog, Darwin, in the surrounding National Forests, and skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing in the winter. |

| Kate has called Montana home since 2000 when she arrived in the Yellowstone region and managed a tourist cabin facility in the remote town of Silver Gate, Montana. She had left Maine in 1997, headed west and landed in Moab, Utah where she spent the next few summers as a whitewater rafting guide. During the winter months, she studied Parks Recreation and Tourism Management at the University of Utah. In 2000, Kate rode her bike, which she has since considered the ultimate means of transportation, first along the California coast and then from Glacier to Yellowstone National Park. Along the way, she fell in love with the Rocky Mountains. Kate joined Yellowstone Safari Company as assistant tour planner in May of 2008 and has been an indispensible addition to the team! She enjoys helping clients from all over the world book their once-in-a-lifetime Yellowstone experience. When not in the office, Kate enjoys backpacking, mountain biking and snowboarding. |
