Serving with Skill, Purpose, and Pride
Private Katherine Isabella Weiler-Medellin is serving as a Weather Analyst & Forecaster within Marine Corps Meteorology and Oceanography.

Her work produces critical weather forecasts that guide operations involving personnel, aviation, sea-based missions, and special operations on land, sea, and air. Her precision and expertise help ensure safety, readiness, and mission success for Marines operating across the globe.
Private First Class Eliane Lo serves as an Aviation Logistics Specialist, a role essential to aviation readiness and operational success. Eliane focuses on developing logistics support plans that ensure aviation units are fully prepared with the maintenance, supplies, and operational capabilities they need. She also supports deployment planning by coordinating transportation for personnel, equipment, and supplies—helping guarantee that missions are executed smoothly, efficiently, and on time.
Prepared for What’s Next
The achievements of these two Marines reflect the power of a Kent School District education, one that prepares students not only academically, but also with the confidence, resilience, and leadership skills needed to succeed in demanding careers.
As Katherine and Eliane continue their service, the Kent School District celebrates their accomplishments and proudly thanks them for their dedication to something greater than themselves.
Once a Royal, always KSD Proud.
