Hello. My name is Katie Eakes. I have been a resident of Mount Juliet, Tennessee my whole life, which is right outside of Nashville. Currently, I am an accelerated nursing student at Belmont University. I will be obtaining my degree in December of 2022. In 2020, I obtained my undergraduate degree in Exercise Science from North Alabama while being a student-athlete for 4 years. After graduating from UNA in 2020, I immediately pursued a Master’s degree in Business Administration at Carson Newman University and received my degree in August 2021. During my MBA at Carson Newman, I was a 5th year student-athlete. I thoroughly enjoy spending time with my family and supporting Atlanta Braves baseball. The perspective I have in life is everyone was created on purpose for a purpose. Therefore, I am driven and motivated to be the change and be the difference maker in the career field and job of my choice.
