Katy Hogan leads the Partnership’s strategy to inspire the next generation to consider a career in public service. In her role, she manages several key government internship programs and oversees the Call to Serve network of colleges and universities. Previously, Katy directed Ohio State University’s Washington, DC internship and fellowship programs through the John Glenn College of Public Affairs, welcoming 75+ students to Washington annually for career-launching internship experiences.

Katy also worked on a U.S. State Department program that sends high school students abroad to learn critical languages. Through this work, Katy developed a passion for building high-impact professional programs and supporting the career development of aspiring public servants.

Katy has extensive experience in providing career coaching to aspiring public servants at every phase of the journey – defining personal brank, LinkedIn, resumes, cover letters, job search strategy, interview prep and salary negotiation. She is also a certified coach through the Center for Credentialing & Education.

Katy’s favorite public servants are the National Park Service rangers that have made her visits to 40 National Parks (so far—she’ll visit all 63 someday) fun and engaging.
