Kaitlin Cochran is a mental health advocate specializing in how unique kinds of cognition play a role in how one engages with grief. She completed her undergraduate study in Philosophy, with an emphasis in ethics, at the University of Puget Sound. During her academic career she focused on embodied cognition’s role in disability philosophy and phantom limb syndrome.

Outside her work in mental health, Kaitlin enjoys spending time working at her local humane society: applying what she has learned about human cognition, anxiety and grief to improve the lives of shelter dogs.

Kaitlin also brings an audio engineering background to her work in oral history - she has worked on the set of multiple live broadcasts and television shows. Combining her skills in capturing sound with a focus on recording stories seemingly untold, her work aims to change the face of public opinion to foster a more inclusive society.
