BALANCING EMPATHY AND DATA-DRIVEN DECISION-MAKING

Kate brings her adaptability and empathy to everything she does. She is passionate about public health and enjoys tackling complex issues from a systems-level perspective. Her experience as a health services researcher, where she interacted with thousands of patients, and her time teaching English in Madrid have given her invaluable insight into cultural nuances. These experiences have strengthened her commitment to cultural competency in her work. This, combined with her data analysis and research skills, ensures a balanced approach that prioritizes both data-driven decisions and a people-first mindset.
