Meet Katherine
I have more than 25 years of experience in nonprofit advancement, and my work with municipal and higher education clients has earned accolades and awards from the California Association of Public Information Officers, the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education, and the College Fraternity Editors Association. My expertise as a writer and creative director includes strategic planning, executive messaging, content development, proofreading and copyediting.
Now a principal, I joined the Tripepi Smith team in November 2016. I previously was director of community relations for the Paine Art Center and Gardens in Oshkosh, Wisc., associate editor for The ANCHORA of Delta Gamma Fraternity and publications editor, and director of creative services for Claremont McKenna College. I currently support administrative and creative projects for the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority and Renne Public Law Group, as well as my firm’s Community Choice Aggregation and higher education clients.
