Kat Ollivier

As Community Nutrition & Programs Lead, Kat is helping shape Compassionate Gardens into a vibrant community hub where growing, cooking, nutrition, and connection come together. She develops programs that give people practical skills to grow food, understand nutrition, and turn fresh produce into healthy meals.

Her work extends beyond the garden, from workplace wellness programs and Compassionate Gardens field trips to traveling nutrition demonstrations. Kat also works closely with Green Our Planet’s farmers to connect educational programming with what’s fresh and growing.

Before joining Green Our Planet, Kat spent more than five years as an academic director and instructor at Advanced Training Institute. There, she led an overhaul of the school’s ten-month nutrition and exercise science curriculum in coordination with the National Academy of Sports Medicine, helping the program achieve a 100% placement rate for the 2025 academic year.

A passionate home cook herself, Kat is always experimenting with healthy recipes. When she’s not in the kitchen, you’ll likely find her outside hiking or rock climbing.
