Your Counselor

Katharine Griffin

Kate Griffin serves as the Interim ARC Coordinator here at Charter Oak State College. In addition to supporting the certification students at Charter Oak and teaching courses, she also provides academic advising to Child Studies undergraduate students. Before joining COSC in September of 2019, she worked as an Education Manager at a large Head Start program in New Haven, CT for several years. She has been a Preschool Teacher, an Infant & Toddler Caregiver, and Enrollment Specialist, an Education Coach, and a Disabilities & Mental Health Coordinator, all in a variety of program settings. While transitioning into administrative positions in early childhood, she obtained a Master of Science degree in Early Childhood Education at CCSU. “I hope to put my ‘student’ hat back on in May of 2023 to pursue a Doctorate in Educational Leadership”.

She plays a lot of different roles, but her favorite is being a mom. Kate has a 13 year old daughter and an 11 year old son. She married her husband in October 2020 and gained a bonus kid, a 17 year old stepdaughter, and also fostered her best friend for a period of time. Kate has had the joy of seeing how the principles that she learned in her undergraduate work in Human Development and Family Studies at UCONN has applied to her own, growing family. “I look forward to connecting with you soon and hearing about your journey in this field!”
