Katie helps develop and facilitate learning communities for CTLM, including Madison Teaching & Learning Excellence (MTLE). She enjoys helping instructors see their courses as creative spaces that are meant to adapt and evolve, and where mistakes are inevitable, informative, and full of potential. She entered the world of writing pedagogy as an undergraduate Writing Fellow at UW–Madison and worked as a mentor and consultant for graduate instructors at the University of Michigan while she earned her Ph.D. Katie taught composition and literature courses at Monmouth College (IL) and Louisiana State University before returning to the UW in her current role. Outside work, she spends time spinning, listening to podcasts, gardening, and exploring Madison and Milwaukee with her husband and two young kids.
