Katie is a Comparative Theology graduate focusing on Hinduism and Christianity. Her semester in Bangalore, India, through the University of Florida inspired her to change majors from Finance to Religious Studies, and to begin studying Comparative Theology during her M.T.S. degree.

Prior to joining the Theology Department, Katie was a Campus Minister and Spanish Teacher at Saint John’s High School in Shrewsbury, MA, for three years where she enjoyed coordinating interfaith prayer services and both domestic and international service immersion trips.

Her dissertation focused on the cycle of life, death, and resurrection in Christian theology (particularly that of Dr. Ivone Gebara). Her project compared Christian ecofeminism and the Kali tradition of Hinduism to address the traditional tensions between life and death and between creation and salvation, to inspire a more integral liberation for all creation.

She, her husband Robert, and two children are members of Boston’s Community of Sant’Egidio
