About Katrina

I’m a Los Angeles-based educator and social media manager with a passion for creating and building community. A few of my core values are: intentionality, honesty, transparency, reflection, and progress over perfection. Through a variety of content—lifestyle, fashion, sustainability, teaching, family, culture—I share my values and journey with my corner of the internet.

I graduated from UC Irvine with two degrees: Education Sciences and Psychology & Social Behavior. My love for teaching led me to the Harvard Graduate School of Education where I earned my Master’s in Teacher Education and Teaching Credential in Secondary Social Science/History. Over the course of 5 years, I’ve taught and tutored students in US History, Ethnic Studies, US Government, and AP Psychology. While I am not currently in the classroom, education and empowerment remain woven into everything that I do.

I currently work as the Social Media Manager for my favorite sustainable brand, Plaine Products. I am so proud to be working with a small, but mighty team of like-minded women, and together, we are changing the world—one refillable shampoo bottle at a time.

Whether I'm designing a lesson plan, filming a video, or creating social media assets, my goal is to deliver content that is thorough and engaging, with just the right amount of zaniness :-)
