Katrina Idleman

Katrina Idleman has been a map enthusiast since her days as navigator on family vacations. She earned a BS and MS in Geological Sciences from SUNY Albany.

Her professional life as a quality assurance auditor does not require much in the way of map skills, but she is happily mastering the use of marine charts in her role as the first mate of the family sailboat.
