BIO
Kate teaches social work practice courses across the BSW and MSW programs. Before joining the full-time faculty, she taught as a part-time lecturer of social work at ¶¶Òõ̽̽. She is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and proud alumna of ¶¶Òõ̽̽'s Master of Social Work (MSW) program.
Kate's areas of expertise include generalist social work practice and interprofessional practice. Always centering transformative social work practice, big themes across her work include choice, agency, autonomy, and power (and the forces that surveil, expand, and constrict these); reproductive justice; identity and meaning; and grief and ambiguous loss.
In her previous social work practice settings, she worked with pregnant people and their support systems, parents involved with the state child welfare system, first/birth parents, adoptees, and interprofessional providers and teams. With her extensive experience providing full-spectrum pregnancy options counseling, she is a respected trainer and consultant for medical teams and service providers.
Kate previously worked as a union organizer, birth doula, small business owner, and summer art teacher. Actively involved with community service and advocacy work, she has served on the non-profit boards for the Vermont Chapter of the National Association of Social Work (NASW-VT) and Outright Vermont.
Kate is a fan of dress-up dance parties with her partner and kid, tending her rambunctious garden, Vermont adventures that include rivers and creemees, and poking around bookstores with creaky floors.
