Over the years, Katie has done choreography for various high school cheer and dance teams in Washington and Idaho. She prides herself on the research and work she puts into routines for coaches. As a result, these routines have helped several teams win district championships. She has also been a cheer and dance judge in the surrounding area, starting her judging career in the winter of 2007.

Katie grew up in Tacoma, WA, and graduated in 2004 from Cascade Christian High School.
