Katharine Corcoran brings a rich tapestry of experience to the CIRI Participation Committee (CPC). Her career began in the federal government and, after a foray into toys and brand consulting, she is again learning a new industry at the American College of Cardiology working in membership marketing. Katharine is deeply committed to community service and is actively engaged in numerous programs that support local causes, focusing on education, cultural preservation and community empowerment. She loves walking around her beloved Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, observing native plants and pockets of history hidden in plain sight. She is Yup’ik and Athabascan with family ties to Nome. Katharine values curiosity, kindness and tenacity and is eager to explore how she can apply these principles as a member of the CPC.
