Katie is a Wisconsin girl at heart who strives to paint with her words, illustrating a soulful connection with nature and inclusive outdoor adventure. She was diagnosed with SMA (type 2) during toddlerhood. With a background in Human Development & Family Studies, she finds fulfillment in encouraging others to embrace their distinctive beauty. When she's not engaging in advocacy, you'll likely find her hiking an accessible trail, adoring a sunset, or eating a s'more somewhere beside the three brightest rays of sunlight in her life — her partner, Nick, and his two awesome kiddos.
