Before attending Samford, Katie was classically educated through several homeschool hybrid programs including The Classical School and Metro Academic Studies. These programs helped her to garner an intense curiosity and love of learning. During her time at these schools, Katie was a member of the speech and debate club, where she qualified in both categories for Nationals all four years of high school, and participated in the drama club, both on and off the stage. Katie plans to pursue a degree in the Howard College of Arts and Sciences. Katie cannot wait to see where Samford takes her!
