About me
PhD Candidate | Ethics Communicator
Hi, I’m Katherine. A Neuroscientist turned (neuro)ethics communicator who believes ethics communication is important in pushing forward discussions across the fields of ethics, science, and technology.
My motivation is to encourage the public to stay curious, and stay critical, especially in the face of emerging (neuro)technologies.

HAVE WORKED WITH KATHERINE FOR THREE YEARS NOW AND HAVE REALLY ENJOYED HER OUT-OF-THE-BOX APPROACHES TO PROBLEM SOLVING WHICH HELPED MY STARTUP MOVE FORWARD AND EXTEND TO NEW TERRITORIES. SHE COMBINES HER BACKGROUND IN BOTH NEUROSCIENCE AND NEUROETHICS WITH A CAN-DO ATTITUDE AND SOUND JUDGEMENT TO CONVERGE A LAKE OF OPPORTUNITIES TOWARDS A FOCUSED DIRECTION FOR FURTHER GROWTH.

“THE PASSION SHE PORTRAYED FOR HER CRAFT AND ALL AROUND ATTENTION TO DETAIL TRULY STOOD OUT AMONGST THE CROWD. AS A TRAINER, HER CHARISMA AND ABILITY TO CAPTIVATE HER DELEGATES ALWAYS LEFT THEM NOTHING SHORT OF INSPIRED BY THE END OF HER SESSIONS. SHE WAS ALWAYS HAPPY TO AID HER PEERS IN THEIR WORK AND THE LEVEL OF PROFESSIONALISM SHE CONSTANTLY DISPLAYED MADE WORKING WITH HER THAT MUCH MORE PLEASANT."
