  • Katie joined CMOMS in 2016 while pregnant with her identical twin boys. She joined the CMOMS Full Board in 2018 as Breastfeeding Co-Chair and has served on the club's Executive Board since 2020.

    Katie grew up in Beaufort, South Carolina and moved to the Charlotte area to attend Winthrop University. After graduating with a broadcasting degree, Katie worked as a TV news producer and in public relations before deciding to stay at home with her firstborn son. That decision proved to be a wise one when the twins made their appearance fewer than two years later.

    “CMOMS has helped me feel as though I am not so alone in this crazy multiples adventure. I have met so many moms who truly know both the stress and pure joy of having multiples. It’s a wild ride I never thought I would take, but I am so glad I have CMOMS to help me forge the path ahead. I am grateful to be part of the club’s leadership and help other moms of multiples navigate their own journey."

Meet the CMOMS 2024 Mom of the Year

Finding out my second baby was actually going to be two babies was the shock of my life. Truly. We keep it real in CMOMS and so I’ll tell you, I was much more terrified than excited by the news. I had no clue what to expect and no one in my life who had multiples. Following my doctor’s life-changing advice (thanks doc!) I looked up CMOMS. I’ll never forget when the weight came off my shoulders and I felt like I could breathe again. Just knowing there was this massive group of moms in my community together felt like a lifeline. Meeting the other moms, having a safe space to ask questions, to seek support… the level of care and love in this group didn’t eliminate all of my fear, but it absolutely gave me the confidence that I could do this. CMOMS was truly a lifeline for me and my family. 8 years later, we’re still involved and I am serving on leadership. For what CMOMS did for us, I’m so grateful to pay it forward and help other moms.
