Katy has worked with numerous non-profits in the Pioneer Valley and abroad. A passionate advocate for community-led development and the arts, Katy was a 2014 National Arts Strategies’ Creative Communities Fellow, a 2016 SPARK graduate, and is currently completing a fellowship with the Coaching Fellowship focused on propelling women leaders. Katy grew up in Mexico but now calls Holyoke home. She graduated from Smith College in 2012 with a degree in Government and Postcolonial Studies.
Katy has some serious cred and is super serious about offering up some real talk in Le vital corps Salon. She dishes on how she's handled some of her biggest decisions like eschewing a career in advertising in NYC to start the social enterprise, ArteSana. We also get a peek at how she's figuring out her leadership style with a strong core team (more like familia) supporting her. (Shout-outs to Diana Rodriguez, Erika Perez, Ivette Aponte, Pastora Torres, and Peggy Shannon.) Katy also shares some perfectly imperfect steps she's taking to find more balance between her work and social life.
