Biography

 

Caitlin Brown graduated from Wayne State University with her MSW in 2012. She has worked in a variety of areas such as health and wellness, research and evaluation, and non-profit programs. She is also a yoga instructor, a yoga therapist in training, and has a particular interest in yoga and mindfulness practices for mental health. Her work now is primarily focused at the mezzo and macro levels, such as program development, project management, evaluation, organizational capacity building, teaching, and continuing education.
