Katherine came to KTIA as the Marketing and Membership Manager in 2023. Before joining the KTIA family, she served as an Event Manager with Churchill Downs Racetrack and worked behind the scenes of Derby 148 and Derby 149. She fostered an interest and education in all things Kentucky tourism while completing her Masters in Event Tourism at IUPUI.
