Katheryn Bermann — Operations Associate
I am an autistic ADHDer and military veteran with over 10 years of experience in the fields of social services and education. I offer my lived experience and my formal academic training (MS in Experimental Psychology) as subject matter expertise in policy change, advocacy, research, and public discourse. I know the struggle of trying to function (not even thrive, just function) in a world that's not designed for you. I masked for decades. I read all manner of books on social skills, getting along with people, and professional development. I tried to translate everything I heard, thought, and saw into "neurotypical" and respond as quickly as I could. But my brain is fundamentally different than most people's brains, and that's not going to change. I now seek work that is aligned with my values of authenticity and compassion. We are different, not less.
