Katie joined the READ team in October 2020 as the Finance Manager. She and her husband, Brian, live in St. Cloud, M. Since 2014, she has been a full-time mom and teacher to her five children: Julia, Miles, Owen, Henry, and Abram.

Before this, Katie served in the for-profit arena for over eleven years as a Certified Public Accountant for several of the top-ten accounting firms in the United States and in a management role at one of the Fortune 500's largest United States corporations.

God has used many gifted authors to grow Katie up in her love and knowledge of Jesus Christ, just as God is using READ to do the same for those in Eurasia.  Katie's grateful to be able to unite her experience in financial accounting and her love of the gospel to fuel the faith of those in Eurasia.
