Who is Katie Swank? Well, thank you for asking! Here is a quick look at my professional resume:

I enjoyed great financial success while in the business world, but nothing has been more rewarding than being a Christian stay-at-home mom & entrepreneur.

In the past, I managed finance at Lexus San Diego & Toyota for many years, winning every contest thrown at me, enjoying travel, luxury and accolades, while earning a solid 6 figure salary. But did I have the joy of the Lord in my heart? Sadly, no….

My life in the fashion world while living in Calgary, Alberta and Halifax, Nova Scotia, was fresh, exciting, beautiful and FUN! But was I able to see the Lord’s creative beauty around me? Not really…

However, Jesus provided beauty in the ashes, these were the chapters in my life that the Lord guided me through, and allowed me to grow in. They are pieces of my puzzle that I can use now, to produce so much fruit in my new life as mommy and Miss Katie. Praise you Jesus for these gifts!

All the chapters in our lives make us who we are – the good stuff and the not so great stuff too. I was inspired to launch my Jewelry Line in 2019. I learned to see the beauty around me and write about it! I am an author of so many fun children’s stories. I also enjoy creating free online educational videos for YouTube, where I also make free Christian workbooks for homeschool and so much more!

Still, nothing this world offers, nothing I ever achieved in earthly riches, compares to the spiritual blessings given to me by my Father in Heaven. Amen!

I was originally born Canada, yet, holding the power of dual citizenship, I am now an American Patriot by the Grace of God. I earned degrees at Acadia University and Mount Saint Vincent University. I hold Degrees in Education, Social Sciences and Business.

After graduating from college, enjoyed life in Starnberg, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and travelled throughout Canada, the US.

I’m now based in Sunny Southern, California. I love Jesus, my family and everything that inspires me to be closer to my Savior.
