DCI STAFF

KATHERINE CORRELL, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

  • If I were a superhero my power would be amplifying the skills and powers of people around me.
  • When I am not working I am skiing, cycling, or cooking. Or hanging with my family.
  • The best piece of advice I ever received was to listen more than talk.
  • If I could visit a place that I have not been to yet I would visit St. Lucia.
  • My favorite vacation spot (so far) is a draw between Italy and Turkey. They are both incredibly beautiful, have delicious cuisine, and there are always fun surprises to be stumbled upon.

  • When I'm not working I am working on my superhero power.
  • The best piece of advice I ever received was to invest in a good pillow! You spend a third of your life on it if you're lucky.
