My name is Katherine Dumais (she/her), I recently graduated from A Computer Science and Public Policy Dual Masters at the University of Chicago and was a Data Engineer on the Harris- Walz Presidential Campaign. I am interested in civic tech, impact investing, the intersection between data and public infrastructure, and economic equity.
I am passionate about making data accessible and usable for everyone!
