About Katie
In 2006, when I sent the note that first led to this project, I was a fiction writer. I've abandoned fiction; truth, for me, has more power...and drama!
Curiously, this shift brings me back toward my original training as a scientist. I have a master's degree in Molecular Pathology from the University of California, San Diego. I had planned to be a research scientist, and was well on my way. Things change, however; a decade after getting my master's, I was a farm journalist in Iowa, shooting photos of corn and soybeans. Now, eight years later, I'm writing about domestic violence. "May you have an interesting life," they say. I have!
