Katie is a proud swim coach at her local pool and a member of We the People, a civic education program centered on constitutional law and public policy. She says, “At every step, service has been my guide. Not because it’s required, but because it is impactful. Because it asks something of you, and in return, makes you more capable of giving to others. Coaching taught me that impact happens one person at a time. We the People taught me that ideas — when communicated with clarity and care — can shape institutions and lives. Law, for me, is the next step in that same journey: a way to serve at scale, to give back not just to the individuals I meet, but to the systems that shape their futures.”
Katie has a couple of favorite memories from Goddard. She remembers lying under a table with a paintbrush in hand, trying to paint like Michelangelo on the Sistine Chapel. She was excited to learn from this perspective and experience something completely creative and new. Her other favorite memory was trick or treating at a local nursing home because it was an early experience that helped her engage with her community in a way she couldn’t have without Goddard.
We wish Katie the best as she follows her dreams!
