Quinn Fitzgerald ’11 says she has always been interested in the concepts of de-escalation and conflict resolution. She was the first Holy Cross student to create a major in peace and conflict studies and in 2020 — despite the pandemic — she successfully co-founded a wearable technology company aimed at addressing the issues of violence, to help people identify and de-escalate potentially dangerous situations.
