Hello,
Welcome to my digital portfolio.
BY KATHERINE LIRANZO
Katherine Liranzo, Social Researcher
CONTACT
I am a first-generation American Latina and mother of 2.
Others would describe me as calm and collected, an active LISTENER and OBSERVER, often detailing to my parents what my aunt was wearing yesterday, around the age of 6.
I studied and loved different subjects in college- Biology, Sociology, French, Latin American Studies, and didn't declare my major until junior year...PSYCHOLOGY.
I'm fascinated with how people make DECISIONS and the experiences that led to those choices, the INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCES that shaped WHO THEY ARE.
While working with others throughout my professional career, I learned that everyone has a STORY and experiences matter, and most importantly that VOICING experiences is POWERFUL.
I am currently in my last semester of graduate school, in Applied Digital Sociology. I strengthened my skills as a SOCIAL RESEARCHER and in ANALYTICS, discovered my skills as a LEADER and CREATIVE, and how I can CONNECT and EMPATHIZE with others.
In my free time, I work on customizing my iPhone wallpaper, taking photographs, researching the newest tech, drinking cappucinos, or process improvement projects for everyday chores.
