Katie is the kind of person who loves people. In addition to teaching at Highline, she supports non-profit advocacy groups across Washington State as a communications consultant. She believes in the power of community organizing and encourages her communication students to take a stand for the issues they believe in. Students can expect to talk to one another in Katie’s classes. She strives to help students apply communication principles to everyday conversations and hopefully better understand themselves and other people as a result.

Katie holds a Master of Arts in Communication Management from Emerson College in Boston, MA and a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies from West Texas A&M University, in Canyon, TX. Katie lives in Burien with her wife and two young kids and loves to be outside every chance she gets.
