Hey there, I’m Katrina.
I'm a writer, editor, educator, traveler, and finder of lost things. I’m especially interested in health equity, social good, literature, music, and film.
I’m a Yooper — I was born and raised in Upper Michigan. I hold a BA in Honors English and Pre-Pharmacy 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 my own syllabi for English Composition and Creative Nonfiction courses.
I developed my skills as a copywriter, content marketer, and creative strategist. I learned some analytics, UX, HTML, CSS, and design along the way. After some time in Pittsburgh, Brooklyn, Nashville, and Seattle, I headed back down South. You'll usually find me eavesdropping on conversations around town, on my way to a reading, a park, a game, or brunch.
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.”
Stepping out of the comfort zone
Played model for a day in Universal Standard’s fabulous clothes (I still have the trench coat and the glasses), on New Day Northwest at King 5 News in Seattle
