Katherine Silva

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) mental health professional in training with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Freed-Hardeman University and I am currently completing my Master of Social Work with a Clinical Mental Health emphasis at the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay. My passion is helping children and families thrive through advocacy, education, prevention, and evidence-based support.

Throughout my education and clinical training, I have developed a strong interest in child protection, family strengthening, parenting education, and trauma-informed care. I believe every child deserves to be heard, protected, and given the opportunity to grow in a safe and supportive environment. I am especially drawn to roles that combine direct support with program development, community education, and advocacy.

I enjoy collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, building meaningful relationships with families, and creating practical solutions that empower parents and caregivers. As a bilingual professional with cross-cultural experience, I am comfortable working with diverse communities and communicating effectively with both English- and Spanish-speaking families.

I am seeking a flexible, primarily remote position where I can contribute to improving the lives of children and families while remaining available to travel for trainings, meetings, conferences, or community engagement as needed. I am highly organized, compassionate, adaptable, and eager to continue growing professionally while making a meaningful impact through child and family advocacy.
