it’s me. hi!
I’m katie, writer, researcher


+

educator.

I hold my PhD in Social Psychology with an emphasis in motivation, attitudes, beliefs, and behavior. I also have a long background in crafting impactful writing and research. I've been known to sit at jigsaw puzzles for hours on end, and I share that same eagerness and enthusiasm for writing and research.

I’m an Enneagram 5, and harvesting knowledge is truly my oxygen. I view teaching as a special chance to give back to society by sharing any knowledge that was once given to me. As a behavioral scientist, I believe science is at its best when it’s highly-curated and creative. I love finding interesting and unexpected ways to fuse my creativity with science, and I see my work (and my life) as my art.

Above all, my passion is to improve and impact. In fact, impact stays at the top of my core values list. I'm ready to link arms with passionate and values-driven clients and create meaningful social impact.

If you can't find me at my computer, I'm either roller-skating to catchy beats, growing a giant haul of garden flowers, or messily strumming all the latest T. Swift hits on my ukulele. I’m also a certified masters-level yoga and meditation instructor.
