Her ability to connect with students on a personal level is truly remarkable! Each time, students left feeling empowered, inspired, and genuinely seen.
I've invited Katey to speak on three separate occasions for our student program, which focuses on supporting youth facing various barriers.
Katey thoughtfully tailored her message to our specific needs and consistently went above and beyond our expectations!
