University of Notre Dame

Starting at Havergal in Grade 7, Katie quickly found her place in the arts community. With a passion for music, she joined the choir, took part in school plays and served as an Arts Prefect in her graduating year. In Grade 10, she displayed courage by going on exchange to France, leaving behind the comforts of home to gain independence, build lasting memories and improve her French speaking skills. Building on that experience, she enrolled in AP French in Grade 11 to further strengthen her proficiency in the language. With an aptitude for problem-solving, Katie enrolled in AP Calculus and took multiple sciences in high school, leading her to explore the intersection of sound, technology and innovation as she studies Electrical Engineering with a minor in Music at the University of Notre Dame. She leaves Havergal with the joy of school spirit in her heart, which has motivated her to get involved in the Notre Dame community. She looks forward to joining one of the university’s choirs, becoming a member of a women’s engineering society and cheering on the football team, face paint and all.
