Although Katija was involved in choir and musical theatre throughout high school she knew journalism was always her spot. Not long after learning how to read, Katija would read the newspaper to her mom daily in a “news voice”. She went on to pursue that passion by earning a degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Colorado. While she typically is a beach girl, with a hometown in Orange County California, she traded palms for pines years ago and never looked back.
Katija loves not only storytelling but also nature, snowboarding, yoga, creating friendships and living every day to its fullest. Katija looks forward to not only giving people the information they need to get to their destination in the morning but giving people a smile and a fresh start to their day. She hopes to be peoples “good news of the day”.
