Lindsay Rutter
I worked with Katie for over 5 years and she was an amazing partner! She is incredibly strategic, knows the value of partnership, and overall a great person! Katie would be a great asset to any organization!
Michael J. G. McLaughlin
Katie is smart, hard working and very creative! Working under Katie at United Way in a fast paced work place was such a rewarding experience. She is constantly on the go - making things happen and connecting the dots to put the right people and resources in place. Katie thinks outside the box and genuinely cares for the welfare of others. Having worked with her on marketing campaigns, large/small scale events, fund-raising and project management, I have great confidence in her ability to do anything she sets her mind to.
