Hey there, I’m Katrina.

I'm a writer, editor, educator, traveler, and finder of lost things. I’m especially interested in the stories we tell to find meaning. In my work, that’s popped up in health equity measures, social good, wellness content, literature, music, and film.

I’m a Yooper — I was born and raised in Upper Michigan. I hold a BA in English from the University of Tennessee, and an MFA in Creative Writing and Pedagogy from Chatham University. I’ve taught everything from British Culture to World Literature, and created curricula for English Comp and Creative Nonfiction courses.

I developed my skills as a copywriter, content marketer, and creative strategist. I found myself on innovative teams with collaborators who taught me about UX, analytics, design, and emerging tech.

IRL, you'll find me (accidentally!) eavesdropping on conversations around town, or on my way to a park, a game, or brunch.

You’re welcome to Venmo me if you’d like to support my work.

A couple more cool things I’ve done:

Chatting about community in ME Magazine

“…And that needs to be the core part of any group — empathy, support, accountability.”
