Testimonials

"Katie possesses an inherent gift for training and development. She’s quick to grasp complex concepts, and provides specific, actionable steps to each student on how to reach their goals. She is socially adept, naturally curious, and is able to connect with her students in a compelling way - all qualities which proved to be invaluable in the people-oriented educational environment that Apple provided."

Jim Petersman, Former Assistant Store Leader

Apple

"Katie’s competence, positive attitude, and energy infused our workplace. She has an innate knowledge of how to work with each individual to accomplish what is needed, and is a natural teacher - articulate, patient, positive, and creative. Katie is a gem. Snap her up."

Steve Deiters, Former Partner/Creative Director

The Creative Department

"Katie actively listened to all our challenges, then crafted a pool of undisciplined knowledge into a remarkable multi-faceted experience for new learners. She is one of those rare individuals who can sift through a lot of chaotic information and pull out the nuggets that are needed by the learner. And then she not only places them into the learner’s experience with clarity and thoroughness, but she makes sure it is the right type of learning for the right objective with all the right content. And along that path, she is a pleasure to deal with, balanced with smart humor and consistently nimble to adjust on the fly if the situation requires. We could not be happier with the experience or the outcome!"

Katie jumped right into the producer role, learning the technical nuances very quickly, while also providing the team structure to ensure a concept could become a reality. She takes time to coach all involved. Tactically, she edits content to maximize audience engagement, drives focus on high quality audio, and utilizes best practices to help craft each episode. She is a great asset to any team!”
