About Catherine van
Equity and belonging leader and communications strategist with more than 10 years of experience across journalism, healthcare, and nonprofits. I use storytelling to drive systemic change, elevate underrepresented voices, and build inclusive communities. From Emmy-nominated reporting to leading statewide DEIB initiatives, I’ve developed strategies that connect with diverse audiences, influence policy, and advance equity. Passionate about social justice, I believe storytelling can spark meaningful conversations and lasting impact.Outside of work, I love exploring the outdoors, pursuing craft projects, and cheering on the Zags. Let\'s connect!
