Originally from the metro-Detroit area, Katie received her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Michigan in 2015 with a double major in Political Science and French. Upon graduating, Katie worked for a public affairs firm on multiple local, state and national political campaigns, with a focus on increasing women’s representation in elected office. Katie truly began to deepen her interest in health policy as an AmeriCorps\u00a0member with the Community Opioid Response program where she was a part of a statewide initiative to help local communities implement strategies to reduce opioid misuse. For the past five years, Katie has worked at a local public health department in Colorado as a tobacco prevention policy specialist, and as a part of the COVID-19 emergency response team.<\/p>\n
In her free time, you can usually find Katie outside: running, camping, hiking, skiing and, recently, growing an overwhelming number of tomatoes in her garden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3313,"template":"","student_areas_of_interest":[14,9],"intake_semester":[52],"degree":[34],"class_list":["post-3312","student","type-student","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","student_areas_of_interest-energy-environment","student_areas_of_interest-health-policy","intake_semester-fall-2023","degree-mpp","entry"],"yoast_head":"\n
