When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005, the resulting destruction forced Jamie McDonald and her family to leave the city they had grown to love.

Trying to rebuild their lives, the McDonald family retreated to Kansas City, Mo.

After relocating, McDonald realized she did not just want to reconstruct her family's life. She also felt called to help entire communities affected by natural disasters. That motivation led McDonald to pursue a bachelor of arts degree in Urban Planning and Design in the UMKC College of Arts and Sciences' Department of Architecture, Urban Planning and Design (AUPD).

"I think it was destiny that I ended up in Kansas City with a program that would help me restore communities after natural disasters and implement emergency preparedness," McDonald said.
