Q & A with Katherine

Please tell us more about your current position.
I Focus primarily on public sector/social sector clients.
 
Please tell us more about your Archer Fellowship Program internship.
My internship at Marathon Petroleum really showed me what an impact the private sector could have in the public sector. I got to engage with members on the Hill about solutions and issues in the energy world.
 
What has been your general career path?
Influencing and engaging the public sector through the private sector and working on bridging the two together.
 
How has your experience as an Archer Fellow influenced your career path and goals?
My experience with the Archer Fellowship Program taught me just how much the public sector can benefit from the capabilities of the private sector and vice versa. 
 
What did you value the most about your Archer Fellowship Program experience?
The friendships. I still am close friends with all of my roommates. Shoutout to Apartment 817 at Senate Square!
 
What do you value the most about being an alumnae?
The network, and that we are all passionate about changing the world—we can have vastly different beliefs, but at the end we all just want to make the world a little better. 
 
What is your favorite memory as an Archer Fellow?
When President Barack Obama made eye contact with me at a state arrival ceremony!
