Katie’s professional world can be broken into various sectors: on-air, on-stage, influencer and musician. She acknowledges it is very important to meet people where they are in their faith journey and her personal goal is to be a representation of the Christian faith. “My goal is to do good in my actions and choices – to have people say – what’s she all about? And that’s my opportunity to swoop in and honestly say it’s my Christian foundation that guides and informs who I am.
On the media side -- Katie has hosted numerous special events and has contributed hundreds of print and online written pieces for top outlets, and can regularly be seen on the TODAY Show, The Rachael Ray Show, The Weather Channel, CBS Sports Radio just to name a few.

She has also worked with brands on special projects including Mattel, GM, Energizer, LEGO, Comcast, Panasonic, Norton, Target and many others over the years.
Katie calls Boston, NYC and the skies home, as she travels all over the world (at one point she and her team were on the road over 300 days in a year!) She will be quick to share that she will find a Mass even if it means island hopping to get there!
It is never too late to take on something you are passionate about and “put the blinders on!” After 20 years of vocal training Katie publicly entered the music scene first starting with CCM (Christian Contemporary) and then eventually segueing into the Country genre. Her first country single, “Renaissance Lady” debuted worldwide on CMT.com and went on to be featured by dozens of outlets. “Miss Mary Mack” which Linendoll produced alongside director, Natalie Simmons, went on to be Top Ten in iTunes Music Videos across all music genres.
Katie supports select philanthropic causes including pediatric cancer, US veterans and K9s.
She recently went on pilgrimage to Medjugorje where she spent time with Josip Elez (who also runs 81Tours.com) and Fr. John Cannon (Montreal) one of the sons of the visionaries. She will be keen to share that her daily non-negotiables include prayer, the Rosary, Chaplet to St. Michael and weekly Adoration.
