Andrew Yu (NHS'11) was drawn to Georgetown's elite nursing school. After working in hospitals in roles ranging from direct bedside care to surgical nursing to the Moderna COVID-19 trial, Yu is navigating a new career field, one in the government.

Yu currently is working at Indian Health Service, an agency with the Department of Health and Human Services. His role is to serve as a public health advisor and national HIV/HCV/STI clinical coordinator. Yu works with patients from rural and remote locations, advocating for their treatment.

“Providing holistic care, a value I learned at Georgetown, truly resonates with my work in public service,” says Yu.“I believe that a disease doesn’t define who someone is. That was instilled in me very early on during my Georgetown education.”

Kelly Bies (MBA’18) didn’t set out to work in consulting. In fact, when she began her career, she was standing at the front of a middle school classroom in Chicago, teaching writing as a Teach For America Corps member. But even then, the seeds of her future were already taking root.

“I wouldn’t have predicted where I am today,” she says. “But looking back, it all makes sense.” Bies’ path into education was deeply personal. As a public policy undergraduate focused on education, she believed any future impact she could make required firsthand experience. That conviction was reinforced by her upbringing—where service and education were core family values—and by a defining childhood moment when her family home was destroyed in a fire. Teachers, she recalls, created a sense of stability and care during a frightening time. “They showed me how systems and people can change a student’s trajectory,” she says.

In the classroom, Bies quickly discovered strengths that would later define her career: navigating competing stakeholders, building trust, and guiding change. “You’re balancing students, parents, administrators,” she explains. “It taught me that to make meaningful change, you have to understand the whole ecosystem.”

“I was most energized when I was working at the intersection of systems, people, and purpose,” she says.

That insight led her to her current role at Deloitte, where she is a manager on Deloitte’s Purpose team—helping organizations translate values into action. She finds the most fulfillment in driving impact for her clients in a way that benefits communities. Whether convening public and private stakeholders to support urban entrepreneurship or embedding purpose into business strategy, Bies now operates at a level that connects her past and present.

The Georgetown University Thrive Center for Children, Families, and Communities has recently supported several startups and nonprofits through their latest program, the Innovation Hub. The Innovation Hub helps strengthen startups and nonprofit organizations by pairing them with Georgetown researchers.

Director and Georgetown professor Matthew Biel founded the initiative and now oversees its growth, having supported 19 organizations across three cohorts, collectively reaching more than 2 million kids and families in over 20 states and four continents.

“Too often, young children and their families have experiences of adversity that have long-lasting consequences for their health and well-being. We can do better to nurture and protect our young people,” Biel says.

In elementary school, Olivia Cooley (C’23, G’27) set her heart on attending Georgetown after she saw Raven-Symoné’s character tour the university in the Disney movie “College Road Trip.”

Falling in love with DC during an eighth-grade field trip sealed the deal, and Cooley’s life has been tied to Georgetown since.

The year that she graduated with her bachelor’s in sociology, Cooley’s father was named the head coach of Georgetown’s men’s basketball team. Olivia Cooley joined the university’s Advancement staff in 2024 as a development associate for family philanthropy, and in 2025 she started her master’s degree in Engaged and Public Humanities (ENPH) part-time through Georgetown’s employee Tuition Assistance Program (TAP).

She said her dual perspective within Georgetown, as a staff member and now student times two, gives her a renewed appreciation for the work that goes into university operations and the care Hoya community members express for each other.

“It’s nice to have those support networks around campus and see familiar faces,” Cooley said. “And it’s not just student engagement. You get to know better all the different people who’ve seen you studying or being part of a program, club or other organization around Georgetown as an undergrad. It’s always nice to keep those little connections.”
