An accidental topic of conversation among personal finance columnists from the Wall Street Journal to the Independent, from Yahoo! Finance to Fox news, Katy has been interviewed, quoted and misquoted. Consulted with by the Rachel Ray Show and beyond, her websites featuring photos and stories about her wacky neighbors and crazy friends have been featured in Business Week, the Chicago Tribune and various other television, radio and print media outlets.

A Southern California native, Katy moved to the Indianapolis area in 2002 and has spent a lot of time trying to figure out why. After many road trips from one Indiana winery to another, she found her reason (oh, and conceived) and has found a whole new appreciation for what the Indianapolis area and Indiana in general have to offer.

In 2009, Katy made the transition from the corporate cubical to the not for profit arena and in 2010 Katy and her adventurous husband Jay made the switch from young married winery visitors to the poor, tired, crazed state of parenthood. Having always worked with teenagers and elementary aged kids they were constantly seeking ways of entertaining other people’s children. In addition to that, they now must entertain their own!

Katy is on a quest to see the world and show her children things they won't see on Dora the Explorer.
