Katie Skead (she/her) is the Outreach and Communications Coordinator with the Faculty of Engineering at UNB. After completing both her undergraduate and master’s degrees in Civil Engineering at UNB, Katie sought experience internationally working with an engineering consulting firm in New Zealand. Her love of the community atmosphere at UNB brought her back to the university. Now through a variety of programs delivered on and off campus, Katie strives to provide meaningful experiences for all ages of engineers and scientists-to-be, as well as connect fellow alumni with each other, the school, and our future generations.

Katie has been involved with Shad since 2019, and looks forward to being inspired by a new group of students each year. She gets excited when Shads bring their enthusiasm and passion into each part of the program and build community together in such a short time.

Katie’s “free-time” is spent chasing her two children and chairing the hospitality committee for the Harvest Music Festival.
