Katie joined Charlottesville Waldorf School in the fall of 2021, working alongside Ms. Kiley in the Rosebud classroom. In 2022, she transitioned into an administrative assistant role and has since expanded her responsibilities, becoming Operations Manager in 2025.

Katie graduated from Christopher Newport University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Ornamental Horticulture. She moved to Charlottesville in 2008, where she worked on a private estate until the birth of her first child.

She began working with children in 2011 at a local Montessori school, where she developed valuable experience supporting children as young as 21 months. After nearly a decade there in both classroom and administrative roles, she took time away to focus on raising her three sons. Her oldest graduated from CWS in 2023, and her twins are currently enrolled in the elementary program.

On her days off, she can often be found gardening, hiking local trails, or spending time near water. She also volunteers with a local baseball league where her sons play.
