A lifelong Metro East resident, Katie is currently earning her bachelor’s degree at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, with plans to enter the legal field and fight for everyday people.  She brings over a decade of experience in customer service and community involvement, grounded in a simple belief: when something matters, you show up.
​
Outside the office, Katie volunteers for a congressional campaign, spends time with her senior pup Molly, and helps out on her grandparents’ family farm. She’s equally at home debating policy, reeling in a fish, or perfecting a new recipe. Driven by faith, family, and a fierce sense of purpose, Katie’s as dependable as they come, and she proves that every underdog team needs a steady hand behind the scenes.
