Katie completed her JD in the French Common Law Program at the University of Ottawa. Also at this university, before law school, Katie obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in History cum laude. 

Her passion for litigation and advocacy originated from the university’s debate club where Katie competed in parliamentary-style debate competitions across the province. Once in law school, she honed her advocacy skills in Mediation seminars and Moot competitions, where she placed second for the Prix Pierre-Foucher in the 2024 Michel-Bastarache moot court for linguistic rights in Canada. 

During her undergrad, Katie was a guide at several Canadian historical landmarks including Vimy Ridge and Rideau Hall. 

In her free time, Katie enjoys camping, reading fantasy novels, swimming, cooking and experiencing new cuisines.
