Kaitlin’s work serving on the PTA board of a Title 1 urban elementary school has propelled her into a number of grassroots activism projects centering around increasing public school enrollment in her home city of San Francisco (more announcements on these projects soon). She also is currently studying for a Master’s in Social Work at the University of Southern California. In a special podcast episode, she shared her experience of a fast and deep dive into community activism to protect her children’s public elementary school, Sutro Elementary, from potential closure in 2024. Kaitlin helped lead a community-wide campaign to Keep Sutro Open, which culminated in a 600- person protest, a town hall with the district superintendent, and ultimately, a halt to the closure process.
