Amy Glaser
Katie McFate is a force of nature. Any business would feel at ease with Katie leading their PM and business efforts. Not only is she a wonderful partner and manager, but she is truly one of the most pleasant and trustworthy people I have had the opportunity to work with. She is always looking to build meaningful relationships with her coworkers, and clients too. Katie’s passion for her work is infectious. Her focus and motivation encourages those around her to perform at their best. She approaches any challenge with professionalism and grace, always maintaining a calm, cool, and collected demeanor. Katie is consistently the first one to step up to the plate and take on any task to get the job done, even if it may not necessarily be natural to her. Anyone would be lucky to have such a hard-working and warm asset, like Katie, on their team.
