Katie Searle (she/her)

For my undergraduate degree, I studied International Cultural Studies with an emphasis in communication and conflict resolution. I have a deep interest in social issues, culture, and human rights and I find myself gravitating to opportunities to both learn about and help others. I am incredibly eager and motivated to contribute my conflict resolution experience, mediation skills, and honed communication skills to the betterment of the world. These skills and passions have led me to become a certified mediator, philanthropic consultant, and grant writer, focusing my work on advocating for and on behalf of traditionally underserved and under-heard communities, such as: BIPOC communities, survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, families and elderly individuals experiencing homelessness and food insecurity, formerly incarcerated individuals, youth aging out of foster care, and adults with developmental disabilities.
