She attended Metro Community College and received her Associate's Degree. She then attended the University of Nebraska at Omaha and received her Bachelor's degree in Management and Entrepreneurship. Katie was working for Interpublic Group in Omaha.
Katie had an infectious laugh that could bring a smile to anyone's face. Her bubbly personality always brought life into any room she went into. Her strongest trait was that of talking anybody's ear off that was in talking distance. She was also famous for many "blond" moments.
