She attended Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. where she majored in Anthropology with a double minor in Public Health and Education, Inquiry, and Justice.

Recently, Katerina was granted the Stapleton Fellowship from the Georgetown Anthropology Department, which gave her the opportunity to complete her award-winning research on health autonomy and resilience of Latinx LGBTQ+ young adults in Washington, D.C. After graduation, she worked as a Legislative Intern for Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) through the Victory Institute, a nationwide political leadership program for young LGBTQ+ leaders.
