After making varsity as an 8th grader, Katie discovered that her true passion was lacrosse. She ended her high school career as a 5-year varsity member and starter, was selected as an All-Conference and All-State 1st team member, and in her junior year was selected to be a member of the 2009 Virginia chapter of the National Team.

In 2016 Katie took over as the Head Women's Lacrosse Coach at UCSD.
