Katie started at Hope in 2014 on the Student Life team and moved to Alumni and Family Engagement in August of 2023. As the director of Family Engagement, she walks alongside the families of current students, collaborating with campus partners to ensure that families have the information and resources that they need to support students. Her team’s goal is for all families to feel like they are a part of the Hope community!

Education

• MAT, Johns Hopkins University, 2008

Why I Love Hope

Katie loves Hope because every staff and faculty member here is deeply committed to helping students thrive. We believe in the transformative power of Hope, both as a virtue and as an institution. The community of Hope is unparalleled.

Outside the College

If Katie’s not at Hope, she’s spending time with her family, probably cheering them on at a soccer or lacrosse game. She’s always reading something good and would love to talk books with you!
