Why Katherine?
There are no cut and dry answers or quick fixes to structural and institutional racism and inequality. If you are looking for the "right way, real quick" solution you will not find it here. It doesn't exist, and anyone selling that kind of solution is complicit in these problematic systems.
What success looks like on an organization level is recognizing and being open to reformatting, re-framing, and responding to the changing landscape of terminology and information. A good mission statement is flexible in nature, and effective leadership is open to structural revision.
Katherine brings their experience as a storyteller and educator to organizations, with a communication style that is clear, direct, and actionable. They will help you identify your tools, strengths, and blind-spots in order to collaborate and generate an action plan for moving forward. With a decade of experience as a performer and in the classroom with students of all ages, and the neuro-diverse and disability community Katherine brings a unique blend of expertise and perspective to any context. They are warm, open, and lead with their sense of humor.
Katherine is skilled in Strategic Leadership and Planning, Social Media, Scheduling, Coordinating, Organization, Community Management, Event Coordination, Empathy, Lesson Planning, Writing Copy, Education, Customer Service, Data Entry, and Fundraising.
