Hi, I'm Katherine! 👋
Passionate about product, tech, and making the world better.
I speak business and tech.
📚 Educational background
I'm a Computer Science & Business double degree student at the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University.
💠A multidisciplinary thinker
From my range of experiences in product management, management consulting, and venture capital, I have deepened my ability to think deeply about problems and solutions. My deep understanding of these roles allows me to communicate with analysts, engineers, investors, and designers to turn ideas into reality.
🌎 Passionate about products making an impact
Right now, I'm working to address big issues in femtech and diversity & inclusivity. I've inspired others to do the same by founding & leading organizations such as u:wait, The Product Initiative, the Laurier Startup Consulting Club, and the Girls In Tech Conference.
🔜 Recruiting for full-time roles, starting in 2023
I'm excited to embark on a new adventure in my career: building meaningful products. Most recently, I worked at Instagram, where I worked to improve key user behaviors on products impacting billions of people. I'm currently looking for full-time roles in product management, product growth, or data science.
