Hello!
a bit about katie
From the sun-drenched heart of Los Angeles, emerged Katie, a spirited seeker of life's deeper meaning with an unquenchable thirst for growth and wisdom. Inspired by a teacher's reverence for Coach John Wooden, Katie has maintained an unwavering commitment to always aiming for her personal best: "Success is peace of mind, derived from the self-satisfaction of knowing you've given your best effort."
During her formative years, Katie moved from the sunlit streets of Los Angeles to the vibrant metropolis of Seoul. As a reverse ethnic immigrant in Korea, she was exposed to both British and American academic curricula, shaping her into a global citizen with a profound understanding of intercultural dynamics. This unique blend of experiences not only cultivated adaptability but also fueled her fervent passion for innovation.
​
Katie's true calling lies in the creation of meaningful solutions that bring about positive change on a global scale. Beyond her intellectual curiosity lies a deep-seated commitment to effecting tangible transformation. She aspires to become a visionary leader, capable of uniting disparate worlds, nurturing inclusivity, and advancing sustainable well-being for all.
​
Join Katie on her journey as she navigates the crossroads of sustainability, technology, and innovation, all while staying true to her North Star of "impact."
