Catherine Kasparyan is a rising junior at Brown University studying Literary Arts and Modern Culture & Media. She is from a small town 30 minutes outside of Boston, Massachusetts. In high school, Catherine volunteered with a therapeutic horseback riding center, helping support kids throughout their lessons. The incredible kids she worked with there inspired her to become a Teen Ambassador for the program, and they continue to inspire her to this day. Her experiences with them are part of the reason why she was so drawn to Shine Global’s mission, because she learned first hand how important it is to help children discover and share their voices. In college, she discovered a passion for storytelling through film, embracing the potential of combining her love of writing with her love for visual storytelling. Catherine is so excited for the opportunity to contribute to Shine Global’s outreach program as the outreach intern and to do her part in promoting children’s voices around the globe.
