The latest speaker to join Lifetime’s ‘Barnsley Businesses Inspiring Students’ project is known for pouting in heels!

Katie is a freelance journalist, PR and copywriter as well as an award winning lifestyle / family blogger at Pouting In Heels. She’s also a mum to one, her three-year-old daughter Elsie.

Her first book is set to be published in summer 2016. She also writes for the Huffington Post.

As a young girl, she would make magazines from scratch and dream of becoming a writer, so she still can’t quite believe that she spends her days and earns her money doing exactly what she loves.

A proud freelancer and blogger, Katie could talk for hours about how wonderful both of these things are. She’d probably also tell you about the numerous benefits a kick ass pair of heels can bring into your life, too.

Her blog Pouting In Heels aims to inspire women to be happier, to do better, to reach higher. In a nutshell, she truly wants women to feel better about themselves and each other. Besides aiming to be a great mum, this is her main passion and motivation in life.

Katie has been a magazine cover girl (just the once), is the owner of an award winning pout (don’t ask) and has a fondness for all things glamorous – especially when it comes to heels and frocks.

However, she’s always at her happiest, when she’s cuddling her daughter and reading her stories, preferably in front of a log fire, with a cup of tea in hand.
