Katie is from here, there, and everywhere! She is a proud daughter of a United States Air Force Pilot. Between the military and her lifelong love of sports, Katie was exposed to athletics and the importance of being fit from an early age. However, her life took a dramatic turn when she suffered a bilateral ischemic stroke at 25 years old. Katie was in her prime, just getting started, when she suddenly and unexpectedly endured this severe trauma which undoubtedly put a strain on her physical health.

It wasn’t until ten years post-stroke when she came to a crossroads. Exhausted from just getting by, and working miscellaneous jobs, she knew she wanted to create a career for herself. Physical fitness was always a key consistent component that kept her going throughout the year’s pre and post-stroke. Therefore, Katie knew she wanted to bring purpose to her passion for fitness. Katie decided she was going to optimize this second chance at life and become a source of encouragement for others who are seeking to feel better and perform better in their own daily lives by becoming a personal trainer.

Always striving to learn more so she can do more and teach more!
