Secretary and Board Member: Katie’s greatest passion in life is children. She has been dedicated to her work in childcare for 12 years. Incorporating the practices of gentle parenting and utilizing her education in Nutrition and Dietetics, has allowed her to form genuine and secure attachments to the children in her care, helping them grow toward emotional intelligence and physical wellness. She is currently working as a private nanny, with a long-term plan to develop and run the children’s program for Hope for the Brave. To Katie, there is nothing more powerful than giving children a safe, empathetic place where they can truly feel free to be the kids that they are. She is so honored to be a part of this team, to be a representative and a voice for the children in our program.
