Rooted in Ellensburg, Committed to the Community
Born and raised in Ellensburg, Katie grew up actively involved in 4-H and FFA, gaining a firsthand appreciation for the work ethic and dedication that define life in agriculture.
“It’s important to me that I get the opportunity to take care of the same community that took care of me as I grew up,” Katie shares.
Katie is actively involved in the Kittitas County Cattlewomen and Cattlemen, Menastash Grange, and Young Farmers and Ranchers, and regularly volunteers with local 4-H and FFA programs. She also mentors local youth through a horseback riding program.

“I am very passionate about sharing my love for agriculture and the western way of life with the younger generation,” she says. “I love working with young and eager cowboys and cowgirls with big dreams and giving back to the small-town horse community that has given so much to me.”
Her relationships in the local ag community are personal. These are her neighbors, mentors, and family friends, and her professional service is an extension of that loyalty.
Experience BUilt on Service and Small Business Values
With over a decade of experience in sales and customer service, Katie brings a strong foundation of professionalism, communication, and follow-through to her work as an insurance agent.
Katie has also spent years as a local entrepreneur, owning and operating a few small businesses with her husband in the Ellensburg area. That hands-on experience has shaped her practical, people-first approach to business. “I have great attention to detail and am an honest, hard worker who is eager to earn the business of community members,” Katie says.
Now, Katie brings that same energy and commitment to her role at Western Community Insurance, helping her neighbors protect what they’ve built, and what they’re working toward.

Living the Lifestyle She Protects

In her free time, Katie enjoys riding horses and competing in National Cutting Horse Association events. She also loves to rope and ride cowhorses, staying active in the western lifestyle she’s always been passionate about.
Katie and her husband have two young children, and they spend as much time as they can outside together as a family. Katie is also an avid hunter, and her time outdoors continues to fuel her passion for the land and way of life she’s proud to represent and protect.
