As a marketing coordinator for Phoenix Rising Dance Company, she created content for social media including video, photos, and Instagram grids.
While stationed in Indy, she toured with Kids Artistic Review, an international dance competition company. While on tour, she worked closely with L.A.-based photographers and videographers to refine her skills of sport/action photography and videography.
In 2017, Katie moved to Chicago to dance and work as the marketing manager for Ascendence Dance Chicago. After designing a new website and revamping their social media sites, she worked to rebrand the company name and logo to AscenDance Chicago.
Katie currently works for Broadway In Chicago as a graphic designer and marketing assistant. Through Broadway In Chicago’s workload, Katie uses her skills as a graphic designer, graphic animator, videographer, and video editor.
Many of Katie's work samples, originally created and localized for Broadway In Chicago, have been added (in an unlocalized format) to the touring shows' global content for other markets. Examples include: Hamilton, Cats, Falsettos, Les Miserable, Once On This Island, and Come From Away.
