My name is Katie Bates and I served as Director of Student Retention at North Seattle College.
Before joining Seattle Promise, I worked at Bellevue College as a Navigator to ESL, ABE, High School + and I-BEST students. I have also worked in TRiO at Highline College and advised for Seattle University. My first professional role was working in a non-profit in Atlanta, GA. I received my Bachelor degree from Gonzaga University and my Masters of Education from Seattle University.
