About Me
Katie Young graduated from USC in 2008 with a double major in English and Philosophy, the first in her family to attend a four-year university. Volunteering with the Joint Educational Project to teach creative writing to elementary schoolers sparked her passion for youth education, leading her to earn a multiple subject teaching credential through UC Irvine.
After moving to the Bay Area in 2011, Katie joined AmeriCorps to lead the College and Career Club at San Francisco's Mission Beacon Center, discovering a deep passion for expanding college access. She entered educational consulting in 2012 and joined ILUMIN in 2018, coaching students of all backgrounds to identify their strengths and tell authentic stories in their personal statements. She holds a graduate certificate in Independent Education Consulting from UC Irvine and a Master's in Education (Counseling) from San Jose State, and has volunteered as a virtual coach for ScholarMatch since 2017.
