Catherine Rockey, PhD Senior Associate
Catherine Rockey is our resident language nerd. With a background in applied linguistics and a knack for digging deep into qualitative and Spanish-language research, she brings a thoughtful, methodical approach to understanding how people communicate—and how data can help create positive change. She’s passionate about foregrounding community voices and translating lived experiences into insights that resonate with clients. A lifelong lover of stories in all forms, Catherine is equally at home analyzing focus group data as she is dissecting the maps and genealogies in a sprawling fantasy novel. When she’s not diving into interview transcripts or collaborating with clients, you can find her curled up reading a book with her cat or trying to digest the rulebook of her latest overly complicated board game.
