Kate graduated from New York University with degrees in journalism and political science and a focus in gender and sexuality studies. After graduation, she moved abroad to work
and travel for several years. Living in a number of countries – from New Zealand and Australia to Vietnam and Thailand – allowed her to experience a variety of health care systems as a woman, and she became interested in women and children’s unique health needs internationally.  Kate recently completed a Master of Public Health with a focus on women’s access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) globally. She graduated with honors from George Washington University’s Milken Institute of Public Health in the school’s Maternal and Child Health department. She is currently the position of SCTG Member Outreach Associate encouraging  SCTG partners to engage with one another on how to best expand the safe and effective practice of self-care.
