Meet Miss Katie

I am currently a colour and paint specialist with Sherwin Williams looking to continue and complete my studies in teaching! I have enrolled for my TESOL and am expecting to graduate with my teaching certificate in June (2025). I have a major passion for literature, whether it be plays, novels, short stories, graphic novels or poetry! In my experience at university, I specialized in English Literature, and Ancient History and Classics, which gave me the chance to study writing in all forms. I find confidence and passion in learning, and I hope to help others with that journey.
