For Middle School (see Junior High) she went to Central Middle School.

College Life
Katie attends The Ohio State University. She entered as undecided and officially declared Atmospheric Sciences on the first day of her classes of her second year. Before she declared, she was declared City and Regional Planning and had also flirted around with the ideas of becoming an english teacher, lawyer, or an industrial and systems engineer. She lived on south campus her freshman year and worked Kennedy Commons, then Wexner Medical Center and finally Marketplace where she still currently holds employment. As a second year, she still resides on south campus but is now off campus. She lives with her roommates, Bridget, Brin and Nicole. She is not a big party goer, you can typically find her in her room playing tetris, watching Netflix and napping.

Animals
Katie has had several animals throughout her life. Before her birth, her parents had two cats, Boomer and Sammy. In the first grade, her mother brought home a black lab, Sadie. In the years to follow, three other cats were purchased, Michael Jordan-"Mikey", Snickerdoodle Buttercup-"Snicky", and Yoda. In the 4th grade her and her brother briefly had a cockatoo, which died because of her brother and her forgetting to feed it. When she was in middle school they got another dog, a golden retriever, Roxy. In the summer before her sophomore year in high school, she got her first cat of her own, Sunkist-"Sunny". At the very end of her freshman year of college, her mother purchased another cat, Sheldon Cooper and a little shit of a dog, a Yorkie, Daisy. Currently, Katie is taking care of a fern, who she calls Dolly, in her apartment. In the future, she would like to own a cat that has a M on its forehead between its eyes and a Great Dane.

Sports
Starting at a very young age, Katie was interested in being active and playing sports. As a child she played soccer, basketball and baseball. Through middle school she played soccer. Beginning in middle school she played softball and in high school she played varsity softball all 4 years at Xenia High School. For two years in high school she played golf and was really bad and was the number 6 out of 6 players on the team. Katie played basketball and was on varsity for 3 years in high school but did not play her senior year because she didn't get along with the coach. Fun fact: Katie played AAU (her last year on an AAU team, 8th grade) basketball on a team that finished 3rd in the nation at AAU Nationals.

Relationships
Katie had her first boyfriend in the 7th grade, Chandler. The relationship lasted a week. Her first kiss was with her second boyfriend, Cody. That relationship lasted 3 weeks and was terminated because she would not make out with him in a movie theater. Throughout middle school, she "dated" several boys, Michael, Nick, Justin, Zach, Logan, Aaron, and Marvin. In high school she dated Mark, Brandon and Dakota. Dakota was a more serious relationship, lasting nearly 4 years with the last year being on and off, finally ending at the very end of her freshman year in college. Currently Katie is planning on being forever alone but would be open to a relationship with the perfect guy (see Katie's Perfect Man).

Television
Katie has very good taste in television and enjoys a variety of shows but her favorite would have to be Arrested Development. Other shows she enjoys are Archer, Bob's Burgers, One Tree Hill, Scrubs, Gossip Girl, How I Met Your Mother, The Office, Boy Meets World, Parks and Recreation, and 30 Rock. Her favorite television channel, BY FAR, is The Weather Channel. But she also enjoys The History Channel, The Discover Channel, Food Network, HGTV, and TLC. Specifically, Ancient Aliens (because it's the most factual show on television), House Hunters International, Cake Boss and Say Yes To The Dress.
