Meet Kathryn Morrissey!
For many, the interest in shaping the physical world takes different forms. For Kathryn Morrissey, it means creating tangible things—roads, bridges, and traffic signals that people use daily. This passion stemmed from Dr. Katz, an enthusiastic transportation engineering professor whose classes Kathryn took at Virginia Tech while pursuing her civil engineering degree. In these classes, she learned that it’s not just about designing roads but solving complex problems.
“Transportation engineering feels like a puzzle,” she says.
From the classroom to becoming a transportation engineering professional, Kathryn has gained a deeper understanding of how transportation impacts communities. She has come to see that transportation is more than just a technical field—it’s central to how people live and thrive. She enjoys seeing firsthand how her work improves lives, whether by adjusting traffic signal timing or overhauling an entire transportation network. Kathryn’s most notable project so far is the redevelopment of Tyson’s Corner in Virginia, where she helped redesign roadways to support new developments, parks, and alternative transportation.
As the youngest member of her team, she admires her colleagues and values the camaraderie they share, often bonding through activities like hiking and running. Outside of work, she enjoys outdoor activities like hiking, running, and swimming, as well as tending to her houseplants and garden of grape tomatoes.
