Katie (she/her) is a graduate student in the UW Clinical Psychology Program. Katie’s research focuses on how to create feasible, effective, and scalable mental health assessments and treatment strategies for people who are currently incarcerated. She has a particular interest in understanding the relationship among trauma and antisocial personality traits and hopes to connect her research to policy in order to integrate science and evidenced-based care into the carceral system.
