Katherine Gjertsen

Hometown: Winnetka, IL

Major: Computer Science

Three things I love to do: Take long walks around Stanford's beautiful campus, play pickup basketball, and play guitar!

I could talk all day about... Musical theater, sports, and kids!

I would love to connect with folks who work in fields related to or share an interest in... Product management, software development, design, and any sports related field!

More about Katherine: Katherine (’21, ’22) is thrilled to be returning for a third summer at Stanford Sierra Camp. Her past summers were filled with leading the Yahoos on long, winding hikes, sweating through Hamilton themed HIIT workouts, wakeboarding on Fallen Leaf Lake, and stargazing on the boat dock. Outside of Camp, Katherine is pursuing a master’s in Computer Science and completed her undergrad in Symbolic Systems in June ’21. In her free time, she loves to roller blade, play any and all sports, and play guitar. Katherine is so excited to be returning to camp as the Kids Group Coordinator and can’t wait to meet so many new amazing people this summer!
