AnnKatherine was a dedicated special educator for eight years after earning her B.S. in Special Education in 2017. She held state teaching certification in Georgia, Alabama, and Connecticut and worked in the public school system in a variety of settings including elementary, high school, and early intervention. At her core, she is a helper; she has a passion for fairness that those around her have what they need to be successful and to feel loved and supported. She feels strongly that this love, support, and service is one of the best ways to show the love and way of Christ to those around her.

Growing up in evangelical circles, AnnKatherine had a radical faith awakening as a teenager where she began connecting with Kingdom-minded people, after many years of seeking answers to questions around many of Jesus’ central teachings (namely: nonresistance/peacemaking). She was eventually baptized in 2021 after solidifying her faith in Jesus; her testimony pointed to the importance of everyday faithfulness, particularly through grief and loss.

AnnKatherine served on the board of trustees for Sattler College for two years, where she developed a deep appreciation and admiration for the work that was being done at the college. In July 2025, AnnKatherine moved to Massachusetts with her husband Jacob. She then decided it was time to take a break from teaching, and sought a new role at Sattler College where she could be more involved in the day to day workings at the college and implement her skills and giftings in meaningful ways to glorify Jesus and His Kingdom.
