I'm Katie Woodard and I joined the AIMHiTN team in January 2023. In 2012, I graduated from Tennessee Tech University with a Bachelor’s degree in Child Development and Family Relations. Before joining AIMHiTN, I worked in various social service settings, promoting health in the community and ensuring that quality child care was available in the Upper Cumberland region.

In January of 2023, I took on the role of Emergency Preparedness Specialist at AIMHiTN. My
interest in emergency response was sparked in March of 2020 when a tornado hit
my community in middle Tennessee, particularly Cookeville. This event
emphasized to me the crucial need to prepare children, educators, and families
for emergencies, not just physically but also from a social and emotional
standpoint.

Outside of my professional life, I am a devoted Christian, wife, and mother. In my free time,
I love creating treasured memories with my family, reading a captivating book,
and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.
