Katie is excited to bring her experiences to the Gala Team. As a nonprofit development and communications professional, Katie has an insider's perspective into what nonprofit staff need when supporting an event.
Katie recently spent five years as a Development Director leading fundraising efforts, managing donor relations and planning fundraising events and campaigns. She also brings a breadth of experience from her time planning musical programs as an elementary music teacher. Katie graduated from the Boulder County Leadership Fellows and the 2020 cohort of the Institute for Leaders in Development at University of Denver. She holds an MA in Public Administration and Nonprofit Management from University of Colorado Denver and a BA in Music Education from Arizona State University. Katie considers herself a fundraiser, educator, and musician and consistently seeks out opportunities to engage with those areas in her life.
When she isn't working in the nonprofit sector, Katie enjoys spending time with her husband travelling, singing and playing music, and being at home with her two kitties.
