About Me

Hi! I’m Katie. I am a teacher and counselor for middle and high school as well as a mom, wife and Christ follower. I love writing, reading, gardening, art and napping. It is my greatest desire to inspire, encourage and support others through whatever season of their lives they are in. This is why I went to school for both my bachelors and masters in Human Service counseling and have worked for and volunteered for multiple local not for profit organizations like CASA, THRIVE, New Beginnings, Kidz n Grief and Care Net Resource Pregnancy Center.
