Georgia de Katona is a psychiatric nurse practitioner with a Master of Nursing Science from Frontier Nursing University, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from New Mexico State University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from UCLA. Once a managing editor and freelance travel writer, then in arts & economic development for New Mexico artists, she has been in healthcare for 19 years as an advocate and ally, always looking for ways to serve people and communities with radical kinship and empowering empathy. Patients are people first in Georgia’s world, and a diagnosis never overshadows someone’s humanity. Prior to starting her work in psychiatry, Georgia worked in emergency medicine, harm reduction, sexual health, and infectious disease prevention and linkage to care. Georgia’s hero is Father Greg Boyle of Homeboy Industries, who embodies radical kinship in his work with folks in Los Angeles, and who is famous for saying “There is no ’them’ and ‘us,’ there is only us.”
