Both in and outside of her work, Katie-Anne is motivated by a call to move near to those who are suffering, by the hope of light in the darkness, and by her deeply rooted belief in the inherent dignity of every one. Katie-Anne is grateful to support the transformative and incarnational work of New City Counseling.
