Kathryn M. Johnston

Kathryn M. Johnston is currently in her fourth year at SJSU and works at a large public library in the Seattle area. She is attending SJSU after a career as a policy and systems analyst (including over 10 years at a medical insurer) so taking the Medical and Health Librarianship course was a natural interest. Kate is scheduled to graduate in Fall 2022 from SJSU and works to include both her background in IT and policy analysis in her work.
