A total third-culture kid, Katherine spent her childhood traveling to Taiwan every two years from her home state of Texas until she and her family moved there in 1995. She earned dual degrees in photojournalism and ethnic studies at the University of Texas, then spent a decade working as a photographer and account executive before joining The Points Guy.

In her spare time, Katherine photographs bands for Austin City Limits and SXSW; gets antsy if she doesn't board a plane at least once every two weeks; loves to ClassPass it up with friends; and cooks Chinese food as often as she can.
