For Kara Oldhouser, what she describes as the ‘catalyst moment’ for her career in sustainability came after working in the commercial and architectural design space. Having studied interior design, she now had the chance to blend aesthetics with engineering and construction – and, with interest in environmental design increasing, Kara found herself drawn to learn more. She did a master’s in environmental studies and, after working with the built environment for a few years, joined Amtrak – the National Passenger Railroad of the U.S. – in 2017.
