That mindset has shaped my life. Whether it’s supporting my family, working in my community, or navigating systems that don’t always function the way they should, I have learned how to figure things out, build within them, and make them better.
I started learning about plants, food, and growing because I needed to, and that grew into a deeper commitment to understanding how food systems really serve people and where they fall short.
That foundation became Baby Katie’s Pharm & Kitchen, where I work directly with growers and communities around food, plants, and access. It also grew into Ag Explained, where I help people understand how agriculture actually functions in Georgia, and Pharm School, where I focus on education and support for growers at every level.
Alongside that, I’ve spent over a decade working in infrastructure systems, supporting large-scale, mission-critical operations where consistency, accountability, and precision matter. That experience taught me how to manage complex systems, enforce standards, and make sure things work the way they’re supposed to.
I’m also a mother and a wife, and I understand what it means to provide while navigating systems that do not always work the way they should.
I am running to make sure Georgia’s agricultural systems work for the people they’re meant to serve.- GEORGIA STRONG.
Georgia Strong means the Department of Agriculture does its job, does it well, and does it with integrity.
It means consistent inspections, fair enforcement, clear standards, and accountability to the people of Georgia. This office touches everyday life, from food safety to fuel inspections, and that matters to working families, small businesses, farmers, and communities across the state.
To me, Georgia Strong means a department people can trust because it performs, stays accountable, and serves the public the way it is supposed to. - GEORGIA GROWN. Georgia Grown already exists within the Department of Agriculture, and to me that means it should be more than a slogan. It is a marketing and economic development program built to connect Georgia producers, processors, suppliers, retailers, agritourism, and consumers across the state. To me, Georgia Grown is about making sure that connection actually works. That means stronger market access, better visibility, real business development, and clearer pathways for people to find, choose, and trust what is produced here. Georgia Grown should be a working system that supports producers, connects communities, and reinforces the value of what is built in Georgia.
- AGRICULTURE is the HEART of GEORGIA. Agriculture is the heart of Georgia, and it’s not just farms. It’s infrastructure. It’s how this state feeds itself, supports its economy, and sustains its communities. It includes forestry, livestock, food safety, fuel inspections, and the movement of goods across the state. It connects rural, coastal, and urban Georgia, linking producers, consumers, and every step in between. When agriculture is working, people have access to food, businesses can operate, and communities are more stable. When it’s not, people feel it quickly. That’s why agriculture has to be understood and managed as a system that supports daily life across Georgia.
That means supporting producers, including small and mid-sized growers, so they have real access to the resources, education, and markets they need to succeed.
It also means educating and protecting consumers. People should be able to trust the food they eat, the fuel they buy, and the businesses they rely on. Agriculture stays strong when people understand it and can be part of it.
I care about responsible agricultural practices, protecting land & supporting long-term sustainability.
