Hi, I'm Katie!

Communications & Digital Strategy

I'm a strategic communicator who believes the best campaigns are built on empathy and evidence. My background in psychology and English taught me to look for the human story inside the data, and I use that perspective to build digital content that people actually want to engage with.

Currently finishing my Master's in Communication & Media Management at Colorado State University while working as an Operations Specialist at the University of Northern Colorado. I spend my days supporting student success programs by turning complex information into clear, audience-focused content.
