No one knows more about moving across the country, starting fresh, and building a new life filled with purpose, community, and joy than Katie Mast. She always knew she was meant for something big, and that journey has taken her from the sunny shores of California to building a larger-than-life new adventure in North Carolina with her husband Josh, their children Beckett and Olivia, and their two beloved pups.
As a highly respected leader in the wedding, event, and small business creative industries, Katie has helped countless companies grow and thrive. Her dedication to fostering genuine communities, promoting education and inclusivity, and building strong partnerships has made her a sought-after expert. From working with renowned brands like Dreamworks Animation, HoneyBook, The Rising Tide Society, and Rock Paper Coin to inspiring entrepreneurs of all sizes to grow their businesses quickly and authentically, Katie's passion for empowering others shines through.
Beyond her professional accomplishments, Katie is known for her warmth, empathy, and genuine connection. She's a forever friend, always willing to lend a helping hand, offer encouragement, and keep learning alongside those around her. Her open heart and positive spirit are beloved by her colleagues and the communities she cultivates.
When Katie isn't busy inspiring others, you will find her enjoying a daily oat milk latte (because a little self-care is essential!), escaping to the coast whenever possible, or simply cherishing moments with her family. And, as a proud Enneagram 2, her focus is always on helping others.
