For
over 10 years, Katie Roberts has built a solid reputation in
communications and media. After earning a master's degree in journalism
from the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado, Katie headed to
the Northwest and launched her career through a television reporting job
for the ABC affiliate, KAPP, in Yakima, Washington. After nearly two
years as an on-camera journalist, news writer and photographer, she then
switched to the print realm and returned to Colorado. There, she
accepted a position as managing editor for VOWS: Magazine, the wedding

A grassroots, non-profit organization dedicated to bolstering local, independent businesses, SIBA is a great example of Katie's passions, talents and experience coming into fruition. Through SIBA, Katie worked to educate people about the importance of supporting the local economy and empowered mom-and-pop businesses with new tools and strategies for success. She also grew this organization from a seedling start-up group into a vibrant, large business league within just a few years.

She excels in taking a direct, down-to-earth approach with all her writing, whether it's a press release, book proposal, training manual, magazine feature or newsletter.

But she also spent much of her youth with family in Tennessee's Appalachian Mountains, the great Southern city of New Orleans, and on the Chesapeak waters of Annapolis, Maryland. In 1994, she earned a bachelor of arts from the University of the South, a small, highly unique liberal arts college in Sewanee, Tennessee. Majoring in French, living in France, and pursuing a love for English literature helped solidify Katie's technical grammar education, and it also provided her with a deeper, holistic understanding of language, writing and communication.In addition to her writing career, Katie helped launch and led the Summit Independent Business Alliance (www.summitindependentbusiness.com) in Summit County, Colorado.
