Katie’s love for college golf runs deep. After spending five seasons and all her eligibility playing college golf, she vowed to stay as close to it as possible. Once graduating, she decided to pursue coaching instead of entering LPGA qualifying school. She coached at Pepperdine University as the assistant for three seasons and led the Waves to the National Championship twice and a WCC Conference Championship in 2018. In 2019, she got the call to be the assistant at the University of Southern California. While at USC, the Trojans added wins at the 2021 Pac-12 Conference Championship and 2022 NCAA Regional Championship. She coached Allisen Corpuz, the 2023 U.S. Women’s Open Champion, who rose to the #1 player in college golf in 2021 for three seasons. She has an eye for talent, in all three seasons at USC their recruiting classes were not ranked outside the top 3. During her time as a Trojan, she coached 10 All-Americans and had 10 team victories.
