Katie works as a writer on InterVarsity's Communications Team. Before that, she was a production associate for twentyonehundred. An English major with a master’s in Communication Management, she gets to do what she loves most: tell stories. In fact, she loves to engage in stories outside of work as well; you will often find her enjoying a good movie (especially Pixar) or with her nose (quite literally) in a book, and she has even started writing a few stories of her own.
