Kat Dwyer is PERC’s marketing and media manager. She studied economics at San Jose State University and is co-host of the Whiskey Bench podcast. Kat’s writing has been featured in National Review, the Washington Examiner, The National Interest, The Hill, and other outlets. As a student of economics and a lover of the great outdoors, she strives to bring market-based solutions to conservation issues. The innovative work PERC is doing in the conservation realm brought the Bay Area native to Bozeman and, unsurprisingly, she quickly fell in love with Montana’s wild beauty. Outside of work, Kat can be found hiking to mountain peaks and alpine lakes.
