LEADERS

Katie Salvage

Katie grew up in Southern California and at age fifteen, moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with her family. Growing up with eight younger brothers and sisters, Katie found herself taking on a lot of responsibility at a very young age. This led to a strong desire to separate from her family and discover who she was, on her own.

Between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four, Katie struggled through many of life's ups and downs. After deciding that there had to be a happier, more peaceful way to live, Katie went through a drastic change. She attended an eight-day retreat where she learned about unconditional love, forgiveness, and peace.

Although the road she traveled wasn't easy, she finally realized that her passion in life is in helping others. For many years, she worked to empower individuals through educational seminars from personal safety to authentic communication.

After attending one of Challenge Day's Next Step workshops, Katie knew right away that she was meant to be a Challenge Day Leader. Her desire to implement positive changes in the world is what drives her every single day.
