Kate Birmingham

I'm the Branch Manager of Cultural Resources at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. Prior to this position, I was the Cultural Resources Program Manager at National Capital Parks-East (NACE) in Washington, DC and Maryland for six years. Prior to NACE I served as an Archeologist at Monocacy National Battlefield.

Working as a public servant with the NPS, I have developed a strong understanding of stewardship, partnerships, operational dynamics, and education. I have a MA in Museum Studies from The George Washington University in Washington, D.C., and a BA in Anthropology from the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, PA.

In 2018 I was a co-recipient of the John L. Cotter Award for Excellence in National Park Service Archeology for my work with the Urban Archeology Corps, and in 2014 I received the same award for my work as field director for the archeological investigation of the L’Hermitage slave village.

I am a 2015 graduate of the NPS Generating Organizational Advancement and Leadership (GOAL) Academy, and as a result of that program was part of a team that developed the NPS Toolkit and Junior Ranger book for the commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act.
