My Story
I am an athletic administrator, mom, partner, educator, coach and sports enthusiast who enjoys nature, international travel, hard work, and good times with positive people. I am originally from the Chicagoland area, but have lived many places including Europe and Southeast Asia through many adventures coaching the sport of rugby!
I also participate in ongoing professional development as a sports commentator and coach educator whenever I can find time in our packed schedule. I came to Warren Wilson because it is an ideal environment to pursue my ultimate goal of making sure all individuals are celebrated in athletic and physical activity spaces.
Katie WurstI love that WWC students bring their own unique interests, passions, values, backgrounds, and future dreams into the learning space on a regular basis. As an educator, you learn everyday by interacting with your students.
