As a parent with a child with autism, Katie seeks to advocate for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and feels this is what she will do forever! Additionally, Katie is the PTA president for her daughter’s Middle school. She still makes the time to make a difference for children with ASD. Katie admits she is somewhat of a bulldog. She feels that almost anything is possible so being told “no” isn’t a deterrent for Katie. She may just ask again in a different way. As the Manager of the Office of Volunteer and Guest Services, and Patient and Family Centered Care, at MUSC Medical Center, Katie is well known for getting things done!
Susan M. Dixson, CFP:
