Katy F-Student Profile

Hi!  My name is Katy and I am one of those people who just loves life and learning new things.  There is not one big thing I am passionate about and I really like to do so many things.  I love cooking, traveling, comic books, fashion, and just having fun and laughing!  I love having the people I meet teach me something that I don’t know about. Since I have started coaching I have been able to experience some really gifted people and I am amazed at some of the things I have learned about them and the world.  I started playing video games as an adult and I was actually a natural! I don’t have the time to do it often but when I do I really enjoy it and can totally understand where people get completely lost in time because it is almost like a competition with yourself, I HAVE to beat this level. 

My husband is an MMA fighter and thankfully is really talented at it! He has had several injuries which have prevented him from making it to the big stage but regardless it has been an amazing journey. I understand the physical and mental strains that athletics can put on someone and the amazing gifts that athletes have both mentally and physically.  I was raised by older brother and sister because my parents passed away when I was young which threw many obstacles and opportunities at all of us. I have had my own struggles in education and behaviorally due to them. I didn’t see the importance in education or working on my future. I went down a long road of many self inflicted struggles which taught me resilience, problem solving, and strength. I’ve taken those experiences to relate with others to help them overcome educational and personal struggles.   

We all have our own journey and there is no blanket solution to solving most issues. I have a very adaptable personality because of my experience working with diverse populations and the extreme joy I find in it. We all go through different struggles and mistakes in life but it is how we recover and what we do next that defines us.  I gear coaching around you and we will try different strategies until you find the one that works best for you. I love to work with someone and have a good time while doing it. I understand the feeling of hopelessness, but also know that there is another side to the fire and everyone has the possibility of getting there!
