Hi everyone! My name is Katie Paulot and I am a rising junior. I have a double major in Comparative Cultures and Politics and Anthropology with a minor in Gender and Women’s Studies. I’m from Canton, Michigan — you might be familiar if you have ever been to the IKEA there. Outside of school, I work at the College of Vet Med as a student receptionist, I’m a server at Sushiya in East Lansing, and I work as an intern for Planned Parenthood of Michigan. In addition to that, I like to hang out with friends, listen to music, paint, read, and play with my cat. I guess my fun fact could be that I’m left-handed (not that fun of a fact, but I can never think of one!). I hope to learn more about reproductive health and maternal health globally throughout this course as well as how other cultures view medicine.
