Before joining GSA, Kathleen spent three years as a student doing campus ministry at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, then worked for two and half years in Mexico City helping launch student movements, organize events for students and ministries, and oversee ministry partnerships that challenged college students and the Mexican Church to serve the poor together through sustainable programs.

Kathleen returned from Mexico in 2008 to invest in her growing heart for Mexico City's abused, broken and addicted by getting her MBA in International Development. She is preparing to return to Mexico City to build upon and forge new partnerships between churches, food kitchens, orphanages, different ministries, and universities. Her future projects will include:

• running a rooftop gardening program that brings together culinary students, recycled tires and business acumen to help alleviate hunger, curb rag-sniffing addictions and promote entrepreneurship, and,
• running awareness campaigns in local churches about human trafficking.
