Kat Ritzmann
Project Transportation Design Engineer
Kat joined Gorove Slade with six years of transportation and roadway design experience, specializing in intersection reconstruction and ADA-compliant design. Since joining the firm’s Washington, DC office nearly two years ago, she has broadened her technical expertise across a wide range of project types. Her work includes traffic signal design, roadway signing and striping plans, traffic control/maintenance of traffic plans, curbside management, loading analysis, and streetlight design and photometric analysis. Kat enjoys collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to develop solutions that improve safety, accessibility, and the overall user experience of transportation networks.
Kat is an active member of the Associated Builders and Contractors of Metro Washington and WTS-DC. She is especially passionate about expanding opportunities for young women in STEM fields and supporting their retention and growth throughout their careers.
Originally from Rochester, NY, Kat spent five years in Minneapolis, MN before settling on the east coast in Arlington, VA. Outside of work, she plays semi-professional ultimate frisbee with the DC Shadow, coaches several youth ultimate teams, and enjoys spending time outdoors, whether hiking, biking, or exploring nature around the region.
