Social Impact Advisors was created out of Katie’s personal calling to help compassionate organizations affect lasting change. Throughout her career as a philanthropic leader, Katie discovered new approaches to building community, advancing equity, and bringing justice to our world.

Helping others is core to Katie’s being. At the age of nine, she organized her first fundraising event, a community carnival for a child battling leukemia. To this day, Katie still feels compelled to make a difference within her community.

Katie has worked for the Organization of American States, a US Senator, state and federal legislators supporting campaign fundraising, grassroots community organizations, private foundations, large nonprofit institutions, and international NGOs. Throughout her career, she has raised nearly $150 million for nonprofit organizations, and gained robust insights into public, nonprofit, and social impact sectors.

Katie lives in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado with her husband and their two boys. When she’s not out saving the world, she’s exploring it, engaging with new cultures and adventuring in the great outdoors.
