Meet Katie...

With a wonderful range of 4 children (2 boys ages 21 and 2 ½, and 2 girls ages 19 and 14), Katie found a passion in creating a conversation about managing the daily tasks and responsibilities associated with raising children in today’s diverse world.

Katie’s affinity to provide interesting advice, her personable nature, and her ability to captivate a widespread audience with a sense of humor led to the founding of “Uncommon Sense.” The full scope of “Uncommon Sense” incorporates a column in the Reno-Gazette Journal, a bi-montly article in Bliss Babe Magazine in a special “Ask Katie” Column, ongoing blogs both on her own website and Reno Mom’s Blog, and conversation forums with her listeners through her site. Lastly, Katie speaks on a variety of topics to audiences from children to adults coming to terms with marriage, family and divorce.

Katie’s show derived from her philosophy on parenting – that discipline and emphasis on self-respect and logical thinking will lead their children to act appropriately in all of life’s situations.
