In 2014, she graduated from Northrop High School where she was a member of the Teaching Academy. Katie worked with her sister, Cara Green, cleaning houses for their business C&K Cleaning. "Katie was our book reader", she loved dog sitting and wanted one so badly, and she truly loved her nieces. She was the best aunt with her sister.

Everyone who met her called her sweet - she had the loveliest nature and lived by the beat of her own drummer. "We really did expect her to write an amazing book one day".
