“Katrina is a relatable, knowledgeable, and solution-focused coach. She skillfully helped me outline my professional goals and opportunity areas, and then offered clear action items and suggestions for what to do between our coaching sessions. As a result of working with her, I became more confident in my abilities as a leader and was able to effectively combat those tricky impostor syndrome feelings that often come up for women of color in leadership roles. She is worth every penny!” – Audrey

As a result, my leadership team is more cohesive, productive, and aligned in our shared mission to achieve positive outcomes for our clients. I highly recommend Uplifme to any leader looking to strengthen their leadership in the social services field.” – Lorraine
“Katrina was incredibly patient and always met me where I was. She offered thoughtful, tailored guidance based on what I brought into each session, and her approach was very solution-focused— which helped me move past the immediate issues and start thinking more strategically about my career. I also really appreciated how culturally attuned she was. It made a big difference to feel like I didn’t have to over-explain where I was coming from. Working with her gave me the clarity and confidence I needed to take the next steps forward.” – Kamakshi

“Katrina exemplifies the definition of “leader”. She is a strategic thinker-able to successfully address complex issues in human services and systems. As a colleague, I have personally witnessed Katrina develop leaders on her team many of whom are now CEOs or hold leadership positions in other organizations. She leads with integrity and compassion and brings that to her role as an executive coach and organizational leader. “ -Val

“I am elated that I have the opportunity to share my experience working with Katrina. Upon joining my organization as a sole contributor in a new unit, I struggled to develop a program that would meet the needs of our target population. Being new to Philadelphia and to the organization definitely did not help. That is when I met Katrina and she not only offered me valuable feedback regarding program development but she also introduced me to the practice of thought partnership. This changed my life! Thanks to Katrina I learned to identify and work with thought partners. People that I can have dialogue with to help me think through ideas! This allowed me to not only develop programs but to also grow as a professional.” – Chantel
“ I’ve had the distinct privilege of working with Katrina over the last several years. In a career of working with several exceptionally talented, capable and effective people, Katrina’s leadership, interpersonal and project management skills consistently stood out to me. One area that truly stands out is Katrina’s ability to build cohesive teams, organize and manage extremely complex, city-level, mission-critical projects such as the closure of encampments. Amidst executing such complex projects, Katrina consistently displayed a level of calm and ability to create cohesion and consensus that facilitated the accomplishment of these tasks. Katrina’s encyclopedic knowledge of city departments, systems, processes and politics were consistently leveraged to guide and support the dept through navigating politically challenging situations. Beyond her superlative skills, Katrina consistently displayed a genuine concern for the wellbeing of her team and colleagues, often pausing to ask “how are you” and meaning it and demonstrated this balance in her own life. She set firm boundaries between her work and home life while maintaining a high level of effectiveness and running her teams. She was a grounding, stabilizing force in our high-pressure, often taxing environment and a person with whom I could candidly discuss the pressures of the job and feel supported. Katrina is the real deal. She has walked the walk, and is more than qualified and capable to teach aspiring leaders how to balance effectiveness and wellness in their careers.” – Sosunmolu
“Katrina is an exceptional mentor and an inspiring leader whose guidance has had a lasting impact on both my professional and educational journey. From the start, she recognized my potential and helped me build the confidence I needed to embrace new challenges. Her ability to hone in on my strengths, particularly in project management, helped me recognize skills I didn’t even know I had. Katrina leads with compassion, consistency, and a wealth of knowledge. She empowered me to take risks, grow in my career, and pursue higher education with purpose. Her support was not just professional; it was deeply personal. She took the time to understand my goals, encouraged me during moments of doubt, and celebrated every milestone with genuine pride. Watching Katrina lead by example and witnessing the intentional, thoughtful way she approaches her work in the social services field has truly shaped the way I move through my own career. Her mentorship has been instrumental in my growth, and I carry her influence with me on this journey. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance, and I can say with full confidence that I would not be where I am today without her support.” -Racquel
