ABOUT CATHERINE THOMPSON

I relocated to the DC area in the fall of 2022 after earning my degree in Sociology (minor in Environmental Studies), to build a meaningful career that aligns with my values of justice and fairness. With an analytical mind and a compassionate heart, I have the interpersonal skills, IQ and EQ to bring dedication and loyalty to an organization committed to improving society.I am able to leverage my analytical, data-driven skillset with creative problem solving to help organizations, individuals, and teams overcome challenges. Having been highly engaged in leadership roles in school, I pride myself as someone who is seen as safe, trustworthy and empowering. This has fueled an interest in criminal justice and victim advocacy/victim support, where I can make sure that people in crisis can feel comfortable and confident to utilize resources while alleviating shame or guilt.One of my most impactful work experiences was when I served as Police Reform Analyst, an internship with the Furman University Police Department. I became their in-house expert on the new 2020 DOJ \"Presidential Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice\" report, with special interest in the section on Victim Services.My strengths and experience also include marketing, branding, digital media & social media management; research, complex data analysis and spreadsheets (MS Excel); and program management.OTHER COMPETENCIES: Written & Verbal Communication | Analytics | Database Management | Data Entry | Event Planning | Policy Compliance | Relationship Development | Crisis Situations Management | Ethical | Sound Judgment | Legal Terminology | State & Local Law | Administrative Support | Confidentiality | Management Analysis | Reporting | Mentorship | Coaching | Training | Project Tracking | Vendor Management | Stakeholder Collaboration | Teamwork
