Kelly Achenbach is the communication officer for the COESO (Collaborative Engagement on Societal Issues) project at Germany’s Max Weber Foundation, which promotes humanities research at 11 institutes around the globe. After years of advocating for at-risk populations through projects at NGOs and educational institutions (mostly in California), Kelly is convinced of the need for community leaders and researchers to navigate complex societal issues together. She loves applying knowledge from her studies in Communications (BA) and Linguistics (MA) to support synergizing for the greater good.
