Testimonials
Katie is tremendous and is a very talented individual. She has caught the eye of our athletic director Tom Smith as well who has echoed these same sentiments. She has great attention to detail, the ability to exhibit problem-solving skills and takes initiative.

At the time - SID at MBU, St. Louis, Mo.
I know she's good at what she does. I saw the work that she was doing with volleyball at MBU. It's the only MBU sport I can honestly say I knew as much about as my own team, because of the way she covered it.
Steve Wilson
At the time - SID at Park University, Parkville, Mo.
I believe Katie demonstrates a strong commitment to the athletic sports she directly works with. I can speak personally as to how she played a major role in being an advocate throughout the university and community for our volleyball programs both beach and indoor.
