meet Katherine

Person with curly hair wearing eyeglasses, smiling at the camera.

I’m Katherine Anderson, the principal consultant at Saffron IMG Services.  My career path has led me to diverse roles across universities, public libraries, professional associations, and not-for-profits, helping newcomers to Canada achieve career and educational success.  In 2021, I founded Saffron IMG Services with the vision of offering bespoke support for international medical graduates as they transition into Canadian medical practice. 

Teaching and learning are some of my core values. I have undergraduate degrees in philosophy and religious studies, a master’s degree in adult education, and certifications in TESL and IELTS.  I am also a performance artist with training in public speaking, creative writing, clowning, and voiceover.

I bring a combination of analytical thinking and creativity to my work, and my approach is grounded in curiosity, attentiveness, and a deep familiarity with the IMG journey.

I am grateful to work and play in Calgary, Alberta, on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot confederacy.
