Meet the Pack

While she has always incorporated some type of connection with teenagers and college students throughout her varied career(s), Katie Kimberling found a hidden love and natural talent for helping adolescents discover their inner potential more than twenty years ago. She has been coaching and tutoring as her full-time and only job ever since.

It was a long, hard road getting here. A native of Oklahoma City, Katie was a “Lifer” at Casady School where, in 10th grade, she was voted NOT as best smile or prettiest eyes (both titles for which she yearned) but as “most likely to come back to Casady and teach.” After battling her natural gift for long enough, she gave in to the siren call of aiding adolescent angst, and has never been happier.

Her curricular strengths lie in tutoring any math (from pre-algebra through Calculus 4) and Statistics. She is a certified Academic Life Coach by the International Coaching Federation, and has vast experience with Executive Functioning Coaching for college students, especially for those with ADD, ADHD, or ASD.

She is a proud, active member of Sooner Rotary, and a past graduate of both Leadership Oklahoma and Leadership Oklahoma City (Class XXIII in both organizations, which makes it easy to remember).

Katie attended Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, and holds a BS in Zoology (which her mother says qualifies her to clean up after elephants at the zoo), and an MPH in Biostatistics/Epidemiology from OU (which her mother thinks has something to do with skin diseases. It doesn’t.). Starting in the Fall of 2024, Katie will begin pursuing her Masters in Data Science from the University of San Diego.

Katie lives in Norman with Stevie the Wonder Pug and Jinx the Pseudo Pug. When she’s not saving academic lives, she loves to paint whimsical pictures, create stained glass pieces, catch up on true crime podcasts, and hike/trek/climb. She has summited Mt. Kilimanjaro, climbed the high points of Oklahoma, Arizona, and New Mexico, completed a Grand Canyon rim-to-river-to-rim, and recently trekked the Cordillera Huayhuash in Peru. Her next big challenge (aside from her own school) is the Cactus to Clouds hike in Palm Springs, California. One day, 20.3 miles, 10,800 feet elevation gain. Ye gods.
