Facts about her!
Katie discovered she had hearing issues around 2005, when she volunteered to be filmed taking a hearing test for a video about hearing loss. “After I got out of the booth, they looked at me and were like, ‘You need hearing aids,’” she says. “My hearing had deteriorated so slowly over time that I don’t even realize I had hearing loss.” Katie’s sister had actually been previously diagnosed with Ménière's disease, so everyone in her family just assumed that Katie had it, too. It wasn’t until five years later that she received an official diagnosis from a doctor.
- Katie was born in San Antonio, Texas, and grew up in Lakewood, Colorado.
- She is the youngest of three siblings
- She started learning American Sign Language at 17, before she found out she had a disorder
- Her older sister also teaches ASL
- She was born on November 6, 1986 (age 28)
