Professional/Academic Experience

Katelyn grew up in a military family and has lived in several places across the country. She was born in Texas, and has lived in Kentucky, South Carolina, and colorful Colorado, which she calls home. She moved to Greeley, Colorado in 2019 to pursue a bachelor’s degree. During her time as an undergraduate student at UNC, she was a part of the McNair Scholars program where she completed an independent undergraduate research project.
