Katie (she/her/hers) is passionate about making sure that all young people have the opportunities and tools they need to reach their goals.

For almost a decade, Katie has worked with Twin Cities high school students to help create postsecondary plans that align with their visions for their lives. She began her career in college access at College Possible, where she was a high school coach at Park Center High School. At Achieve Twin Cities, she has worked as a Career & College Center coordinator at both South and Southwest high schools.

Originally from Illinois, Katie graduated from St. Olaf College with a B.A. in English and a concentration in media studies. She quickly fell in love with Minneapolis and likes to spend her time eating her way through Twin Cities’ restaurants, with the goal of trying more restaurants than her South co-coordinator Kelsey.
