Katherine O'Connor
A Bit About Me
My name is Katherine O'Connor. I am a native of St. Louis, Missouri. I hold a bachelors degree in psychology, a masters degree in media literacy, and I have just started a doctoral program in Higher Education with an emphasis in Transformative Learning in the Global Community. My research interests include media literacy, biracial representation in media, and worldview development.Â
I love music, television, and film. If I could figure out how to hard-wire cable directly to the synapses within my brain, without messing up my hair, I would. I love to travel and explore new places. I live for the St. Louis Cardinals. I bleed blue for the St. Louis Blues.
