Kaitlyn serves as the Student PIRGs' lobbyist on Capitol Hill, working on campaigns to make college more affordable and protect student loan borrowers. She has been a leading voice for students in opposition to access codes, the Cengage-McGraw Hill merger, and automatic textbook billing. In 2018, she ran a successful national grassroots campaign convincing Congress to start the Open Textbook Pilot grant program, and as a community organizer helped launch the Rutgers Open and Affordable Textbooks program in 2016. Based in DC, Kaitlyn enjoys biking, traveling, and the never-ending search for the perfect cup of coffee.
