Kaylee Venosky
she/herProgram Manager
Kaylee left the Heartland when she moved to Seattle for school and, while she misses the architecture and perfectly gridded fields, she thinks really big old trees are nice. She is a thorough communicator and expert problem solver, and she is most in her element when deadlines are looming. Kaylee prefers to be outside and with her dog (and if she can only have one, she’s going with the dog).
