Katie joined West Point inspired by the service of her father and her grandfathers.
Katie had a strong work ethic and a structured and disciplined childhood. She participated in athletics and was academically challenged in highschool.
Katie was prepared for the tangible rigors of West Point, but initially struggled to build a community to sustain her at the Academy.
Katie learned to build and invest in the people around her while at West Point and it has paid great dividends ever since.
Katie continues to build teams and to serve her community. From serving as a Quartermaster in Germany supporting the Warfighter in Afghanistan and Iraq, to serving in the Maryland National Guard in support of soldiers deploying abroad, to serving as an Oncology Nurse at John Hopkins.
This is her story.
