Meet Katie

I am a dedicated social worker, consultant, and educator specializing in adoption awareness and education. My lived experience as a transracial/international adoptee fuels my passion to work with and support the adoption community, which I have been doing since 2006.

Since earning my MSW in 2011, I have built my career as a non-profit social worker, specializing in leading groups, facilitating speaker panels, case management, leading workshops and more. In 2019, I was an Angels in Adoption recipient from the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute, nominated by the office of Congresswoman Barbara Lee.

In addition to my professional work, I am a dance instructor. I use my professional social work training to create safe, inclusive, and accessible spaces where people can find joy and confidence in movement. I believe in the power of creative outlets to allow for release, self-discovery and confidence.
