Katie joined the AAWL team in July 2024 after spending eight years in human service organizations and two years in sales. Her background in innovative organizations, curiosity in people, along with her lifetime love of animals lends itself perfectly to philanthropy at AAWL.

Growing up, Katie had the absolute joy of having dogs, a horse, a turtle, and many fish (and one day hopes to have goats and chickens). Katie enjoys hosting dogs in her office as well as visiting them around our campus. When she is not at work, she’s enjoying her home in North Phoenix, which she shares with her husband, Garrett, her son, Jack (3 years old), her rescue dog, Chula (a pittie/shepherd mix), and rescue black cat, Spaghetti.
