Kat Cowley

I am seeking an Outreach/Marketing position within the addiction treatment industry. In a nutshell I have 7+ years experience in the PR realm: Web and print content, media relations, event planning, the face of many a promotional event, marketing/advertising strategies, social media and conference/association networking.

While I've long since enjoyed the PR aspect, I long to apply those skills to an industry which fulfills my desire to contribute good into the world. Marketing a body spray is one thing, but to help someone with a life changing step is on another level of gratification. My boyfriend represents the residential treatment center, AIM House. Thus, I've witnessed him mentor, interact with the clinical professionals and speak to the parents of the young adults they are so desperate to save, and experienced my "light bulb" moment. This is what I am called to do.

I thank each of you in advance for the time you’ve taken to assist me in my journey. Please connect should you have any leads or wish to view my full resume.

May you live a life to fill that which is empty,

Kat Cowley
