Katie was born and raised just outside of Chicago in Harwood Heights, IL. While growing up, she was able to be involved with various ministry opportunities provided by her church and, through this, sensed God’s call to pursue full-time ministry. She graduated from Moody Bible Institute with a degree in Children’s Ministry and a desire to invest her life in the lives of inner-city kids. Katie learned about ICI through some good family friends who have been long-time staff members and is excited to be a part of what God is doing at ICI!
