Katie’s yachting experience started when she was diving off of liveaboards in Thailand. As a PADI scuba instructor her travelling quickly progressed to places like the Red Sea, Chuuk Lagoon, Palau, Philippines and Mexico. When not traveling Katie has spent the last ten years in the fine dining service industry in a little place called Jackson Hole Wyoming. Working in restaurants for the ski resort and Four Seasons gave her a broad base of wine and food knowledge. She also took time to explore the mountains skiing, hiking, and biking. Katie attributes her travel bug to her education in her home state at the University of Montana studying Anthropology. She says learning about humans and culture spurred this desire to visit other countries to see how others live. She joined yachting not only for her love of the ocean and its creatures but to discover this mysterious world of yachties and how it all works. In her free time, she likes reading and making friends. While onboard don’t hesitate to ask Katie about her travel or any scuba questions you may have, she will be thrilled to lend her time and expertise.
