Katie has been working in Everett for more than ten years.  She started out as a Pre-K teacher at the Webster for one year and then has been teaching first grade at the Parlin ever since.  She has a Master’s Degree in early childhood Education from UMass Amherst and grew up in Malden.  

Katie began working with the ETA as a building Representative at the Parlin and eventually moved into the Executive Board as Secretary in 2012.  So many of the education policies that affect our daily work come from our elected officials.
