The PCA’s work would not be possible without the dedication of our staff, interns, and volunteers. Get to know us a bit more:

STAFF

Director

Katherine Miller, MA, LPCC

Pronouns: she/her

Katherine is an award-winning activist and educator, with extensive experience in advocacy for survivors of interpersonal violence and human trafficking. In addition to serving as the Director for the PCA, Katherine also teaches undergraduate students at MSU Denver and the Community College Online System in both the Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies and the Psychology departments, and teaches graduate courses for the Graduate School of Professional Psychology at the University of Denver. Katherine has utilized her Master’s degree in International Disaster Psychology and Trauma Mental Health and Bachelor’s degrees in Gender and Women’s Studies, Psychology, and History to provide crisis intervention and community response to trafficking survivors with the Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking, prevention education through the Blue Bench, trauma therapy at the Aurora Strong Resilience Center, psychoeducation and process groups with women in rural Southern India living with HIV, and resource coordination to students in crisis at the Institute for Women’s Studies and Services (now GITA). Katherine is committed to infusing intersectional feminism and praxis into advocacy work at the PCA, building campus coalitions to support survivors, and dismantling systems and cultural norms that perpetuate violence. Katherine is unapologetically in love with all things Star Wars, sharks and dinosaurs, Beyoncé, and reading (the goal is at least 52 books every year!). She will never say no to cheese and bread, and has not yet met a cupcake that she didn’t love.

ADVOCACY SERVICES PROGRAM

Harriet McTigue, MPP

Pronouns: she/her

Harriet is a Master of Public Policy with a focus in reproductive health care. She is interested in increasing access and funding of comprehensive sex education programs across the country through policy change. Harriet has a background in family and child policy and believes in affecting policy change through grassroots advocacy. Harriet found her passion for victim advocacy post-college through volunteer work and has been in the field ever since.

She is committed to expanding intersectional response services and helping others heal from trauma. Harriet is a classic soccer dog mommy. She and her partner take their angsty teen and persnickety senior pups on any outdoor venture they can.

VIOLENCE PREVENTION EDUCATION PROGRAM

Racheal Reed-Maloney, MSW

Pronouns: She/her

Racheal began her career at the PCA as a Clinical Advocacy Intern in 2019. She stayed with the PCA as a helpline volunteer until being hired full-time in August 2022. Racheal combines her knowledge from her Bachelor’s degree in Human Development & Family Studies and Master’s degree in Social Work to create prevention education programming and curriculum for folks on Auraria campus. Before working full-time at the PCA, she worked with youth survivors of human trafficking, youth experiencing houselessness, and worked with survivors navigating the criminal, civil, and Title IX system. Racheal believes intersecting social justice with violence prevention helps folks understand the world around them and empowers them to work toward creating a world of safety and inclusion for everyone. When Racheal is not at the PCA, she enjoys bed-rotting with her partner, being a cat mom to her furry babies, learning new baking techniques, and comfort-watching horror & early 2000 Cartoon Network shows.

megan price

Pronouns: she/her

Megan began her work with the PCA as a Volunteer Helpline Advocate in 2024 and transitioned into a role as a Violence Prevention Education intern in 2025 before becoming a professional staff member in 2026. She has done community work in various capacities in the Denver area, including working as a Peer Support Specialist on Colorado’s Crisis Line and participating in mutual aid that centers the city’s unhoused population. Her approach to violence prevention education is informed by these experiences as well as her own lived experience as a survivor, psychiatrized teenager, and former sex worker.

Megan finds purpose, empowerment, and justice in doing work that provides individuals and communities with the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to prevent and respond to IPV. She understands IPV to be a systemic issue that must be addressed through an intersectional, anti-oppressive framework. Megan believes that interpersonal and systemic violence are inextricably connected, and that the harm we cause one another will not be eliminated so long as we live under systems rooted in power and control that harm us all.

In her free time, Megan can be found reading (mostly feminist, dystopian, or thriller novels at the moment), exploring in nature, or yapping endlessly with her loved ones.

Megan can be reached at 303-315-7250 or Megan.price@ucdenver.edu
