Girls' Rights Specialist, Consultant & Mentor
Testimonials
Educational Specialist, SHE Zimbabwe
"Katy is an exceptional specialist in community development, girls' rights and gender equality. Undoubtedly one of the best minds I have come across; her passion shines through all her impactful work. Katy showed me what it is like to be a high impact player and a good team player by being humble, people smart and hungry for impact. It is because of her brilliance that I consider her my go to expert whenever I need assistance or clarity in her areas of specialisation. When I decided to write a book on girls education in Africa, she turned out to be a huge resource! I highly recommend Katy to anyone or any organization keen to make positive impact in the world."

"I cannot recommend Katy highly enough. While our coaching session lasted just an hour, I felt rejuvinated, excited, calm and motivated to find my next steps. Her insight into the gender and not-for-profit field has been insightful and grounding, and her email afterwards provided further resources and care. If you're thinking of approaching Katy for some coaching, run don't walk."
