Growing up in a family who served in the military, Katy developed a love of travel and a desire to learn about different cultures.  As a result, she traveled extensively throughout the US, Asia, Europe and Latin America.  When living in East Asia, she developed a passion for cooking and tasting Thai cuisine.

Because of her life experience living, traveling and working abroad, Katy is very adept at learning new cultures and truly embracing the beauty and uniqueness of other parts of the world. She often states that the “harder a place is to live, the more fulfilling it is to live there.” Katy’s passion for others found its full-stride while she was working with people in Third World countries.
