Katie joined WBUR in 2018 as stewardship and communications manager. In 2023, she built WBUR’s first development operations team, responsible for the strategy, communications and operations surrounding the major giving program. She also led the development of the first planned giving program, which raised more than $2 million in year one.

Before WBUR, Katie worked as senior manager of development at Boston Children’s Museum. She managed individual giving, including an annual gala that raised more than $550,000 per year. Under Katie’s leadership, the Museum launched its first Young Professionals' Council, recruiting and engaging more than 30 early-career professionals.

Earlier, Katie served as executive director of Gargiulo Education Center, a Florida nonprofit providing out-of-school-time services to migrant students. As executive director, Katie oversaw educational and administrative functions. She transitioned the organization to an autonomous nonprofit after a decade operating under fiscal sponsors.

Katie earned a MBA in finance, as well as BA degrees in history and Latin American studies, from Boston University. When she’s not raising money professionally, she’s spending it in her personal life on bikes and skis.
