Program Manager
A Beaumont native, Katherine graduated from the University of Alabama in the fall of 2023, earning a bachelor’s degree in history with a focus on the American South. While pursuing her degree, she worked for Historic Tuscaloosa, serving as a docent for three of the organization’s historic homes. She also completed an internship with Beaumont Heritage Society in their collections department while she was in school. Since January of 2024, Katherine has been the Assistant Curator and Registrar of the McFaddin-Ward House Museum.
Katherine is a graduate of All Saints Episcopal School as well as Monsignor Kelly Catholic High School in Beaumont and credits her history teachers at these schools for developing and consistently supporting her love of history. During her work at the McFaddin-Ward House this past year, Katherine has assisted with the planning and implementation of several programs. This experience led her to applying for the Program Manager position. Katherine is excited to implement the ongoing programming at MFW and continue to foster strong relationships with the Beaumont community.
In her free time, Katherine enjoys spending time at her family’s farm rescue, 3W Farm and Ranch Rescue in Beaumont.
