Katie is a registered nurse by training and still works part-time as a travel health RN, helping travelers stay healthy on their adventures with advice on vaccines, medications, and smart practices for avoiding illness abroad.
She lives in Austin with her husband and their four almost-grown children, all of whom share her love of travel and have the passport stamps to show it.
Katie brings over 25 years of global travel-planning experience to Rosedale Travel. Having explored 28 (and counting!) countries, she has long been known as the go-to resource among friends and family for international travel recommendations and advice. She now channels that passion and expertise into helping clients craft their dream vacations with care, creativity, and attention to detail.
When Katie isn’t planning incredible trips for her clients, she’s often planning her own next adventure. Some of her favorite past journeys include Botswana’s Okavango Delta, Morocco, Chiang Mai in northern Thailand, Kyoto, and the sun-drenched villages of Provence.
Next up in 2026: Singapore, Bali, Andalusia, and a hike with her book club ladies along the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain.
