Bio
Sarah Ramirez
Katie is one of the most enthusiastic and passionate writers I've had the pleasure of working with over the years. She cares deeply about doing her best and always strives to learn and improve, which is all you can ask as an editor. Katie is also a great team player, and always willing to pinch hit and support her peers when problems arise. Her diverse experience, from covering business to human interest pieces, is yet another asset.
Matthew Wallace
Katie stands out as one the most thoughtful and generous employees (and people) that I've had the pleasure of working with. She started at BerryLine as a Team Member and was quickly promoted to a Team Manager. Not only was she a pro at running the shop but she was one of those employees that drew customers in with her friendly personality. Customers still ask me how "that wonderful former employee of yours" is doing. Katie approaches the day wearing a smile and that smile is contagious. I can't heap enough glowing praise on Katie and recommend her to anyone looking to add a pro.
