Katie Egan is a freelance journalist and copywriter, proud cat mama and adventure enthusiast. She currently lives and works in Southwest Florida.

Katie has experience covering the community, crime, breaking news and local government. She specializes in profile and feature stories. Katie has a bachelor of Communication degree from Florida Gulf Coast University and was previously an SEO Specialist for DyGen Digital Marketing in Cape Coral, Florida. Before that she was a Content Specialist for Cox Automotive. If you’ve looked at a local auto dealer’s blog, there’s a good chance Katie helped write it.

Katie is driven by giving a voice to the voiceless and telling stories that make a difference. She is passionate, has a thirst for knowledge, and loves learning about different cultures.

Katie was previously a journalist with the Naples Herald, a local digital news startup. She wrote about everything from city council meetings, injured bald eagles, to breaking news and crime. Before that, Katie was an Associate Multimedia Journalist with the Naples Daily News. She was responsible for the Neapolitan, art, food and crime beats. 

When Katie’s not exploring Florida or tucked away in a local coffee shop, you’ll find her daydreaming about traveling the world.
