Hello, I'm Katie Clement, the driving force behind Constructed Mind. My journey has been one of constant curiosity, deep exploration, and a committed engagement with the nuance of the world around me. From my early days as an anthropology student to my transformative experiences working as a field biologist in Australia and Alaska, I've always been drawn to the unorthodox path—one that challenges assumptions and expands perspectives.

My time spent in unusual jobs and far-flung places taught me the value of continually asking questions and trying to dig deeper than the first answers I got. This realization led me to pursue a unique blend of experiences, from studying painting in the south of France to earning master's degrees in teaching and urban planning. Each step along the way has reinforced my belief in the power of seeking knowledge and the importance of fostering genuine insight.

As a project and program manager and an educator with over 15 years of experience, I've had the privilege of championing initiatives that prioritize depth over surface-level understanding. From spearheading trauma-informed care projects to developing comprehensive curricula, my goal has always been to empower others to explore complex issues with confidence and clarity.

But my passion for deep exploration extends beyond my professional life. As an avid blogger, I've delved into a wide range of thought-provoking topics, from the transformative power of making the familiar strange to the profound beauty of listening to the night. Through my writing, I have built on my talent of making connections between things, and have tried to inspire others to embrace their curiosity and engage with the world in new and meaningful ways.

Constructed Mind is the culmination of my diverse experiences and my unwavering commitment to fostering meaningful dialogue. It's a platform where curiosity meets depth, where diverse perspectives are celebrated, and where the pursuit of knowledge knows no bounds. I invite you to join me on this journey of discovery and exploration, as we challenge assumptions, expand our perspectives, and work together to build a more insightful, compassionate, and connected world.

Welcome to Constructed Mind—a space for those who dare to dig into complexity, one question at a time.
