Kaitlyn (Kaity) Johnson |

Hello! My name is Kaitlyn (Kaity) Johnson. I am a third-year undergrad student at Rochester Institute of Technology.
I am majoring in Psychology, minoring in Criminal Justice with hope and ambition for a career that incorporates both.
I grew up and currently reside in the suburbs of Rochester, New York.
While we know that urban and rural areas struggle immensely in terms of violence, human trafficking, poverty, lack of resources, etc.
The surrounding suburbs bear the weight of these issues as well.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the seriousness of these issues with isolation and dwindling services for these vulnerable families and individuals.
My goal is to provide geographical support and a deliverable services program to those residing in the suburbs of Rochester with a focus in Hilton, Hamlin, Spencerport, and Brockport.
I will work to invest my time in the people who are underrepresented, underprivileged and those at-risk persons interfaced with disappointment as well as social and political restraints in their everyday life.
Specifically, I will be gathering items from various donors such as clothing, canned food, personal hygiene essentials, and delivering them to sites of interest.
I will also work towards finding access to different programs or assistance specific to their needs.
The anticipation is that these deliverable services and outreach will nurture respite in these areas.
