Bio: Katherine is an avid believer in helping organizations harness the power of data analysis and evaluation in order to ignite positive social change. She holds a BA in Political Science, International Studies, and a minor in Chinese Professional Communication from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she graduated Phi Beta Kappa in May 2014. As a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Katherine developed an interest in a wide range of security and development issues—from nuclear non-proliferation to post-conflict reconstruction—as well as a regional interest in South Asia and the Middle East. She currently works as a Research Assistant at Innovation Network, a non-profit consulting firm that specializes in conducting evaluations for social justice, public policy advocacy, public health, and community development initiatives. Katherine is also an aspiring graphic facilitator and works with organizations in DC to visually display their ideas and concepts in a fun and creative way (www.katherinehaugh.com). In her spare time, she spends as much time outdoors as she can (hiking, biking, running), loves thrift shopping and exploring DC’s vegan food scene, and volunteers with Girls on the Run-DC.
