Katrina captured the title of Miss Northwest on December 18, 2021. She is very passionate about her social impact titled, “Inspire A Golden Journey: Childhood Cancer.” As a 19-year childhood cancer survivor, Katrina has dedicated her time and talents to helping children and families faced with Cancer. Even though she feels ample attention is put on childhood cancer research she strongly believes there needs to be more attentive to the children of Minnesota that have heard the horrific words “YOU HAVE CANCER ''. They need us to create an encouraging cancer journey. She has been recognized by the American Childhood Cancer Organization as a Gold Ribbon Hero for her work and dedication to childhood cancer. Katrina raised over $8,000 for the Thief River Falls Sanford Infusion Center to purchase new chemotherapy chairs for those undergoing treatment. She has delivered over 50 activity bags to hospitalized children faced with cancer and organized a kid dance fundraiser for four consecutive years, with $5,600 going to the American Cancer Society. Katrina is an active volunteer with the American Cancer Society as a team captain at the Marshall Pennington County Relay for Life. Additionally, Katrina is in her fifth year as the Director of Bagley Just for Kix dance program. She coaches dance to children in grades preschool through sixth in the dance styles of jazz, lyrical, kick and hip hop. As a coach, Katrina quickly learned that coaching is much more than teaching skills; it is inspiring, influencing, and changing the lives of the ones she coaches. Katrina has choreographed routines for the high school choir, college theater, and recently individual dance students, who received a platinum ranking.
Katrina graduated from Lincoln High School in 2016 and is currently attending Northland Community and Technical College studying Marketing and Management. She is pursuing a career in Interior Design.
