Katherine Peterson

Katherine Peterson is a graduate of NYU in New York, and received a Masters in International Relations and Development. Her course work has focused on international development theory, and political and economic approaches towards improving conditions in the more impoverished parts of the world. This passion was spurned through her first hand experiences when studying abroad while in undergrad and examining the application of theoretical projects. By examining competing theories and past failures, she believes that developed nations and enlightened individuals working on the ground can unite in bringing about small and meaningful changes to the world. During her time working for The SISGI Group, Katie wrote about impact strategies and their effects on the globalized market, and the subsequent political ramifications that may ensue.
