Katie brings nearly two decades of editorial experience in business-to-business media. After earning her master’s degree in journalism, she began her career at the personal care R&D trade journal Cosmetics & Toiletries. There, she thrived on the constant flow of knowledge gained from interviewing chemists, regulatory experts, formulators and testing professionals in the field.
After nearly eight years with Cosmetics & Toiletries, Katie pursued her passion for skin physiology and ingredient science as Managing Editor of the professional esthetics brand Skin Inc. That same year, she also took on the role of Conference Director for Face and Body, where she developed and managed the event’s educational programming.
Following an acquisition, Katie was promoted to Editor-in-Chief of five professional media brands: Nailpro, Skin Inc., Beauty Launchpad, Medical Esthetics, and WellSpa 360.
Throughout her 19-year editorial career, Katie has held a variety of roles, but her passion has always been scientific editorial. She is the recipient of a bronze Folio Eddie Award for a single science article. She has frequently contributed her expertise as a guest speaker on industry podcasts, webcasts, conferences and video interviews. A lifelong learner, she enjoys the challenge of translating complex technical content into material that is both accurate and accessible.
