Katie experienced foster care, and her journey is nothing short of inspiring. This persistent young woman has defied the odds to get her life on track. Just a few years ago, the thought of living in her own apartment or holding a full-time position as a paraprofessional would have seemed unimaginable to her. Now, she has set her sights on returning to school with the long-term goal of working in the childcare space, where she can make a meaningful impact on children’s lives. In her spare time, Katie indulges her passion for movies and takes pride in being a loving cat mother, adding joy to her daily routine.
