Katie Murray

Katie comes to CFSI as a former educator who transitioned into the non-profit Human Resources field. Her career has been driven by her belief in the power of hands-on learning, which began as a Fulbright Teaching Assistant in the Canary Islands. After completing her grant, she returned to New England to teach at Cold Spring School as a second and third-grade teacher. Katie then transitioned into HR and Operations work as a Program Developer at EXPLO and now works as the Associate Director of HR Operations and Talent Management at CFSI.

Katie earned her B.A. in Political Science and Hispanic Literature at Wesleyan University. During her time at Wesleyan, she was awarded two social innovation grants to start an afterschool program in Middletown, CT called Cardinal Kids.This early experience in social innovation helped formulate her passion for education and program management and connects her to CFSI’s work and mission.

Katie loves to travel, especially to places where she can both hike and relax on the beach on the same trip. She was a competitive Irish Dancer for most of her life and enjoys cooking elaborate meals and doing embroidery in her free time.
