Her essays have also debuted at Comedy Central’s Sit-n-Spin.

Katie is also a freelance health writer for LA Thyroid Health Examiner and LIVESTRONG.com.
Ravaged, not in an, Oh, please don’t stop kind of way, by Graves’ disease and Graves’ Opthalmopathy, she is an inductee in the Jacked Thyroid Club. A practicing vegetarian, gluten free, feminist and vintage tchoch collector, Katie gave birth to Dear Thyroid after recalling the many hate letters she penned at the too-many-to-cite heights of her illness, hoping other members of the JTC (jacked thyroid club) might find it as cathartic as she did and still does.

PS: Katie would also like to extend special thanks and gratitude to Quin Browne and Freida Bee, two women she adores who, to this day will always be a part of Dear Thyroid in spirit.
