Jess Caron | Director of Programming
Katherine is currently working for the City of Somerville on an initiative called SomerPromise, which brings together the city, schools, and community members to remove barriers affecting student academic achievement. Always looking for ways to help low-income students succeed, Katherine's prior professional work has spanned assessment research, graduate-level admissions counseling, education consulting, and volunteer work teaching and mentoring low-income students. She earned her B.A. in Sociology from Tufts University with a concentration in Social Inequalities and Social Change. When her mind isn't buzzing with ideas for how to create equitable, sustainable systemic change in the education field, Katherine enjoys being outside running, hiking, biking, and paddling around in her bright yellow kayak.
