Backstory
As the daughter of a small business owner and a VP of HR, Katie gained an insider’s view of workplace issues. Katie quickly learned there are three sides to every story and that taking a mindful and fair approach can help solve even the most complex of problems.
Katie is passionate about fair and equitable solutions to workplace challenges and draws on her personal and professional experience to help both individuals and organizations.
An interesting tidbit
An avid traveler, Katie lives by the saying, “when in Rome”. That philosophy helped her survive a sandstorm while camping in the Sahara Desert and while rappelling into one of the many ice caves on a climbing expedition of Sólheimajökull Glacier in Iceland. Her adventures have also included partaking in local delicacies to fully experience each place she visits.
