Katina Bishop

Katina Bishop is one of EFF's "oldest" current employees; she joined the organization in January 2000. As EFF's Associate Director of Development, Katina cultivates donations to the organization and works with major donors, manages the organization's grant cycle, produces educational and fund-raising campaigns, and creates outreach events that bring EFF issues to the local community. She also produces/writes animated film shorts to accompany EFF campaigns. She has scripted a boxing match between Barney the purple dinosaur and Wil Wheaton, written and recorded a parody of the Mickey Mouse song, and coordinated musicians, jugglers and unicyclists while producing EFF's annual music festival, all in the name of online freedom and democracy. Previously, she worked as a staff writer and educator for Girltech, a company supporting girls' involvement in the world of technology. Katina is also a musician, writer and educator. She received her BA in Literature from Scripps College, and her MFA in English and Creative Non-Fiction from Mills College. Should you ever call the EFF office, you will hear her singing when you are put on hold.
