Katie was born in New Jersey, outside of Philadelphia, and moved to Los Angeles in 2010 to pursue her love and passion for the arts. She started swimming at a young age and was a swim team kid all throughout her childhood. After taking a significant break from the water, in 2018 she decided getting back was the best thing she could do to rehab her shoulder post surgery. One early morning she decided to head over to Glassell Park Pool to swim laps. It was there she met Coach Charles and life began to take Katie in an incredible, exciting, unexpected direction.
Having joined SPP, Katie has competed in the 2018 La Jolla Ten Mile Relay, SPMS 2018 Short Course Meters Championships, USMS 2019 Short Course Yards Championships, New Jersey Tri the Wildwoods, Nautica Malibu Triathlon and WOWSA Ocean Fest. In 2019 she became a USMS Certified Coach and an Adult Learn To Swim Instructor.
Katie believes in a holistic approach to healthy living ever since returning to the water and her father surviving a stroke. To further her education she enrolled back to school at, The American Fitness Nutrition Academy in Pasadena, to become an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer/Nutrition Coach. It’s through her love for her father, loved ones and people, that she is extremely passionate to help those become educated, motivated and inspired to live their healthiest life so they can live their highest potential!
