Senior Spotlight — ✨KATIE BETH✨
Katie Beth graduated from Cor Jesu Academy. She is now attending Florida State University, studying behavioral neuroscience on the pre-dental track. Katie Beth studied voice with Miss Lisa since the age of seven and loved every moment of her journey. While voice was always a meaningful part of her life, dance also helped shape who she is today. She began dancing at age two and trained and competed for the past 13 years. She was a member of the ensemble team at the Professional Dance Center and was captain of the Cor Jesu dance team. In addition to dance and voice, Katie Beth explored musical theater, with favorite roles including “Young Fiona” in Shrek, “Lavender” in Matilda, and “Brooke” in Legally Blonde, as well as multiple ensemble performances at The Muny. She performed with the Arch City Theater Troupe for the past eight years and served as its Creative Director for the last two. Beyond the arts, Katie Beth was deeply involved in leadership at Cor Jesu, serving as Class President, treasurer of the National Honor Society, and as secretary of Youth-In-Action. Katie Beth would like to extend her gratitude to her parents for their unwavering love and support. Finally, to Miss Lisa, whose influence in her life has extended far beyond voice lessons. Miss Lisa believed in and supported Katie Beth every step of the way, and she can’t thank her enough. Miss Lisa has always been a source of guidance and encouragement that Katie Beth will forever cherish.
