Hi all! I'm Katharine. I am originally from Savannah, GA, but now live here in Maryland.  I am a mom of 2 spunky, smart, adventurous little girls who keep me on my toes! My husband is truly my best friend and the perfect Friday night for us is chatting about our day and watching Triple D while demolishing a bowl of popcorn.

I graduated college it feels like eons ago and have always wanted to purse my MBA. As things go, it was never the "right time" until recently when I started working again after beng a stay at home mom for 5 years. I work full time, chauffeur kids to hockey, swim, and lacrosse, and also train clients in nutrition, so naturally it’s hard for me to sit still. My gym time and my study time have become my non-negotiables for myself. During the weekends, we love to go for hikes, the pool, farmers markets, or hang out with friends.

I love to cook, love to eat, love to laugh, and love to learn. I look forward to learning from everyone here and crushing this class with you all!
