In 2007 Katie spent several months in a small community in Kenya where she documented the effects of internal displacement, made community visits, and worked with the youth club on an HIV/AIDS awareness project. In 2010 she volunteered in Thailand where she assisted in compiling case studies documenting human rights abuses against Burmese migrants in southern Thailand. Particular areas of interest in addition to displacement include transitional justice and youth advocacy. She has been with Friends of Africa International since 2007.
