Hi, I’m Katy.
This isn’t just a business. Loyal Friend grew out of my love for reading and my desire to help more people experience that connection. What started as a love of books has grown into a little bookshop with a bigger purpose: bringing people together through stories, making books more accessible, and helping the next generation discover the joy of reading.
My Background
My background is in communication, education, and community-building. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to teach, lead teams, tell stories, and help people connect through ideas that matter. Those experiences have shaped how I see the world and continue to influence what I hope to build with Loyal Friend.
Outside of work, I’m a mom, a lifelong book lover, and a member of a family that calls this community home. This is where we’re putting down roots, raising our little one, and building a life together. That makes creating something meaningful here especially important to me.
My hope is that Loyal Friend grows into more than a place to find books. I want it to be a way to bring people together, pass stories from one reader to another, and help more children discover the joy of reading.
Lasting impact
We build with clarity, act with integrity, and always stay curious.
