My name is Katie M. Gordon, and I am a mixed-methods researcher and consultant. I earned my Ph.D. and M.A. in Sociology from Stony Brook University.

I bring over a decade of experience in qualitative and quantitative research, community-engaged projects, and applied analysis. My work includes survey design, interviews, focus groups, archival and content analysis, data synthesis, report writing, and the development of practical tools that help organizations organize information, strengthen grant readiness, and communicate their work clearly.

As a Commissioner for the Sonoma County Commission on the Status of Women, I lead and support projects focused on healthcare access, mental health, economic stability, and other community challenges affecting women and girls. This work allows me to build collaborative partnerships, translate complex information into accessible public-facing materials, and contribute to research and reports used by local leaders, community stakeholders, and decision-makers.

Today, I support mission-driven organizations with research, grant prospecting, reporting support, and internal systems that make coordination and decision-making more manageable. My approach is grounded in rigor, clarity, and producing work that organizations can actually use.
