Katherine Bolt

Bachelor of Social Work graduate with experience interviewing professionals, reviewing research, and interpreting data, plus two years teaching English in Japan. During a social work internship, I interviewed staff at schools, private practices, and government agencies about service gaps, wrote the interview questions, and helped put together the team's summary report. As an undergraduate researcher, I reviewed and interpreted statistical results and presented findings at a research conference.

Looking to bring that research and analytical experience, along with strong organization and attention to detail, to an entry-level role in insurance or banking.
