Katie Yoo was born on March 8th, 2011, the same year the novel series, Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, took off. She was raised in Fullerton her whole life. She has one older brother and a Maltese named Beni. Katie is from a Korean family, and her family and relatives are very close with each other. She likes to travel and explore new places. Her hobbies also consist of sports like tennis and swimming, art, reading, cooking, hanging out with friends or just playing with Beni. She enjoys socializing as well as staying in and binge-watching her favorite shows or reading books. Katie hopes to be somewhere in the medical field, preferably a nurse. She would like to be a nurse because she likes helping others in any way she can. She also hopes she will still draw either as a hobby or job when she is older. When she grows up, she wishes to have a dog, specifically a Maltese or Goldendoodle, by her side. A quote Katie tries to live by is, “Do what you feel in your heart- for you’ll be criticized anyway,” said by Eleanor Roosevelt. She hopes she could be able to follow this without worrying about how people see her.
