Fun Facts about Katie

  • I love being outdoors! It doesn’t matter if I am working on a beach, my back porch, taking the dog for a walk, golfing, or hiking – my mind and spirit are rejuvenated when I get some fresh air.

What advice would you give your 16-year-old self?

Don’t be afraid to fail. But, if you do fail – dust yourself off and get right back up – because the world is waiting for you.
