Katherine is a fan of writing but has never done so professionally. After receiving a BA in English with an emphasis in Creative Writing from the University of Missouri – Kansas City in 2011, she turned off the creative part of her brain to become a worker drone. Katherine has resided in the Kansas City Metro area for the last 23 years and has come to love her city, its people, and culture. Through the community of Veteran Voices and Veterans Art Workshop, Katherine has rediscovered her love of words and creativity.
