Born and raised on the east coast, Katie has worked both locally and in NYC in advertising where she discovered a passion for local internet marketing. She is drawn to internet marketing because of the ever changing and fast paced atmosphere which requires quick and creative thinking to solve unique and challenging problems every day. Google+ and Local Search is a field that fascinates and challenges on a daily basis. In her free time Katie enjoys boating, high heels, Italian cooking, blacksmithing, and travel.
