About Me
My name is Kathleen, though most people know me as Katie. I'm a Birmingham, Alabama-based writer/editor with a passion for the arts and making sarcastic comments while watching movies.
I spend my days as Milo's Tea Company's Corporate Storyteller, a role that allows me to use my academic writing and researching background while flexing my creative muscles to develop fun, inspiring content for internal and external use. With 20 years of experience in the performing arts realm, I bring a strategic and detail-oriented eye to communications.
