As a social worker of many years, Kathi has helped people living in poverty, domestic violence, homelessness, delinquency, isolation, obesity, and other challenging situations move from their challenges to a brighter future.

Kathi's passion for engaging people in finding their strengths and applying those strengths to achieving their goals is the heart of STEP's Emergency Financial Assistance program. In partnership with the men and women who make American freedoms possible through their sacrifice on behalf of our nation, STEP is building financial well-being among these heroes.

When not at work, Kathi enjoys being with her family, including her two young children, traveling within the United States, aquaponics gardening, and reading audiobooks.
