Katie is the cheeky over-achiever from the middle of nowhere

Katie has the humour and humbleness of an Aussie shearer, the discipline of a kelpie, and the ability to adapt to all seasons and settings as farmers do. Currently, Katie lives in Sydney and works as a special needs educator and primary school sports teacher. She has a passion for living life to the fullest, and bringing friends, family, and disadvantaged children along for the ride!
