During the summer of 2015, Kat worked with the Consortium on Gender, Security, and Human Rights, doing research on the gendered impacts of World Bank policy and editing materials for the Women, Peace, and Security Working Group at the United Nations. Kat attended the International Criminal Court’s Assembly of States Parties in 2014 as a Student Delegate for the Council for Students in International Negotiations (CASIN), providing analysis and reporting live as six Justices were elected to the Court. Prior, Kat studied abroad in the Netherlands, attending Leiden University and the Grotius Centre for International Legal Studies in The Hague. While at Wellesley, Kat has served as the Editor-in-Chief of the Wellesley News, is an assistant in the College’s department of Communications and Public Affairs, and competes as a member of the Wellesley Equestrian Team. Kat’s goal, following the Institute, is to complete an internship and senior honors thesis exploring the gendered effects of international development policy.
