Why Child Welfare?

Katie’s first experience with the child welfare system came during her final semester of undergrad when she interned at the Children’s Advocacy Center of Collin County. After graduating with a degree in criminology, she went on to work as a CPS investigator in the very same building. Her time with CPS gave her a deep understanding of how the system works and the real impact it has on families. That experience drives her commitment to support parents, caregivers, and relatives involved with CPS. Katie approaches each case with the same dedication and compassion she brought to her work in the field.
