Katie Crimβs pandemic passion creation β βKC Curiousβ β is a blog and podcast that centers around open conversations about life, art, and student development. What first started as a project to learn new software and become more tech-savvy with new interfaces, turned into a creative project where she sits down to have conversations with inspiring people. Katie hopes to provide a space where fellow musicians can learn the guest artistβs secrets to success. Her blog, which accompanies her podcast, serves as a vessel to pass on things she has learned, as well as to bring attention to the less talked issues that a student faces in a new environment. She believes that a lot of difficult moments in life can often be demystified with a moment of vulnerability and clarity. Katie hopes that her listeners are inspired to think analytically about her guestsβ stories, offering different perspectives into the life of a college student.

Katieβs life motto is βFinis Coronat Opusβ: The end crowns the work. It is hard to overcome good preparation, and in most cases, the habituation of good work and good deeds will be enough. Living a full life in the arts would be her dream come true!
