She once lived out of a car and traveled down south for a good while to experience the allure of Patagonia with her boyfriend. To lend her voice and experience to issues around disability and identity, she started Cerebral Palsy Strong, #cpstrong in 2017. She came to CU to expand her understanding of media and culture to help build upon this work and hopes that it will start to change the way we think about what disability looks like. Katy holds a BA in Liberal Arts from Soka University of America.

His interests include entertainment media, dynamic education, and sustainable development throughout the Americas. Prior to his graduate work, he enjoyed lengthy stints in Latin America (y por eso sí habla español). He holds a bachelor’s degree in public relations and leadership from Central Michigan University.

+**[Rachel Nyhart](https://www.colorado.edu/cmci/people/graduate-students/rachel-nyhart)** is passionate about community involvement in creating inclusive public spaces. Currently she is pursuing her master's in Media and Public Engagement from CU Boulder and a master's in Urban and Regional Planning at CU Denver. In merging the two programs, Rach hopes to dive deep into conversations on public engagement.
