Like Jamie Nicholls, Katie started snowboarding at Halifax dry slope when she was five years old. As her whole family were snowboarders, she decided to stop skiing and give snowboarding a go. Her background in gymnastics means that Katie has a huge amount of natural talent on a snowboard. Her main goal is to go to the Olympics and to podium at X Games. Outside of snowboarding, Katie still loves to get involved in gymnastics as well as rock climbing.
