About Katherin

Katherin is originally from Mount Airy, North Carolina, where her passion for community work and building connections with others began. Her commitment to community engagement grew during her undergraduate years at Appalachian State University and continued when she moved to the Triangle in 2017. She earned a master’s degree in Social Work from UNC Chapel Hill, focusing on Community, Management, and Policy Practice, which allowed her to deepen her understanding of systems and macro-level work. Most recently, she served as Assistant Director of Community Engagement at the UNC-CH Undergraduate Admissions Office, where she worked closely with students, families, and schools throughout the Triangle. She also has experience in K-12 education and health equity, working alongside the community in advocating for resources.

Katherin is passionate about meeting new people and creating connections that lead to positive change. She currently lives in Durham, where she enjoys trying new restaurants, learning how to crochet, and spending quality time with friends.
