Born and raised in Alameda County, Katie’s career has come full circle from the days spent as a preschool teacher while in graduate school. She now commits herself to advocating and supporting child care providers and children and families in her community through her work at 4Cs of Alameda County and the ECE field in the county. When she is not working to uplift little ones, she is spending time with her own two young sons, husband, large extended family, and two cats, Figaro and Fezzik. Katie is also passionate about baking, crafting, listening to good podcasts, and exploring her hometown and the hidden gems the Bay Area has to offer.
