Expertise

Falling in love with writing as a teenager, Katherine channeled her mood ring-like changing emotions into journaling, and has been a dedicated personal storyteller ever since. Having spent years in the sexual wellness industry, she has cultivated collections of writing on all-things body positivity, self-care, intimacy, sensuality, pleasure how-to’s, and embracing yourself as your own best lover.

Always searching for that perfect word, phrase, or picturesque analogy to capture the essence of an idea, Katherine savors the process of expression. She values writing for its sincerity, enthusiasm, and compassion when it comes to hitting that spark with a reader, especially if it can leave a woman feeling better about herself!

Experience

Besides being an avid reader and writer since girlhood, Katherine decided to kick her literacy-laden background up a notch by receiving a Master’s degree in teaching, and went on to teach English Language Arts to high schoolers for several years. Nothing taught her the art of writing quite like seeing its craft, and how to hone it, through the eyes of impressionable teenagers with big dreams. 

Meanwhile, inspired by the fascinating conversations she was having in her women’s circles about feeling sensually liberated, the best pleasure products, etc., she swerved her career toward the intersection of women’s wellness, retail, and content production. Between this and teaching, Katherine has accumulated thousands of hours reviewing and lending feedback to others’ writing and projects, alongside creating her own. 

Fun Stuff

Katherine is a nature girl through and through, and adores admiring all of its colors, fragrances, creatures, and seasonal patterns. Old school ‘90s R&B and hip hop are her jam—think Sade, Usher, Mary J. Blige, Tupac—and she’s always down for a night of throwbacks and dancing. In her free time, she enjoys soaking up fresh air with her pup, art projects like making jewelry or watercolor painting, and sipping on anything with bubbles.
