Katelin Trautmann is a doctoral student in the Education Policy and Planning program. Katelin's research interests are around the intersection of whiteness and Christianity and how it is operationalized within public school policy. She is particularly interested in investigating these impacts in early education and elementary schools in predominately white suburban and rural areas. She is currently working as a Graduate Research Assistant with professors Jennifer Holme and Huriya Jabbar in the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy on a project funded by the Spencer Foundation that is studying the impacts of teacher turnover. Additionally, she supports the evaluation team at the Texas Advanced Computing Center.

She received her bachelor's degree from Iowa State University in Elementary Education and a Master's degree in Effective Teaching and Instructional Leadership. Katelin then spent nine years working public education in Iowa as an elementary teacher as well as an instructional coach.
