Katie is the mother of four children. Her oldest son, Dallin, has Autism.
Katie was born and raised in Mesa, Arizona. She received her Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education in 1996 from Brigham Young University. She taught second grade in Utah for two years before returning home to the East Valley with her husband to raise their family.
Katie has been active in the Autism community for many years. She is currently the Finance Officer for the Autism Society of America-Greater Phoenix Chapter Board, a parent advisory member of the Arizona Autism Coalition, on the Gilbert Public Schools Special Education Parent Council, and co-founded a parent support group called EVAN (East Valley Autism Network). EVAN was instrumental in helping pass the Autism Insurance Bill called Steven’s Law, which will require insurance companies to pay for Autism treatments starting July 2009.
Katie also volunteers each week in each of her children’s classes at school, for the PTSO, at her church, and helps teach in the Cub Scout program for the Boy Scouts of America.
