NASP BAI
Kat is a USA Archery Level 3 NTS Coach. She was raised just north of Austin in Liberty Hill and she has spent almost her entire life in the Austin area. Kat received her bachelor’s degree at Texas State University in San Marcos. She then taught in the public schools before devoting herself full time to homeschooling her three children.
Kat owns a custom cake design business and has worked as a cake decorating instructor. She became involved in archery in 2012 when her two sons took a homeschool archery class with friends. As one son progressed to a competitive archer, Kat began traveling with him throughout the country for archery tournaments and clinics.
After seeing the amazing programs and facilities that are available in other parts of the country, she soon realized that the Austin area needs a more developed and versatile archery program. Collaborating with Eric Davis and Jessica Schmer, Central Texas Archery was born, spreading the love of archery throughout Austin, Texas.
