Katie Awad

Katie grew up in Palmer, Massachusetts before moving to Charlotte in July 2020. Since then, she has spent her time professionally and personally learning all about Charlotte and what it has to offer as well as what she can offer to give back to the community.

 

Katie is a Treasury Management Relationship Manager at Park National Bank, where she has worked since June of 2021. She has been in banking since February 2012. The thing she loves most about banking is all the clients she gets to meet and build relationships with. Katie first learned of Healing Vine Harbor back in April of 2023 through her previous role as a Community Home Lender. Katie is enthusiastic about volunteering her time and navigating life with a mindset of being thoughtful and empathetic to others. She is especially excited to be on the Board of Directors for Healing Vine Harbor as their mission hits close to home for her.

 

Before Katie pursued a career in banking, she completed a 10-month program at the Hallmark Institute of Photography. She ran her own portrait and wedding photography business for about 7 years after completing the program. Banking became a bigger passion for Katie, and she stopped doing photography professionally but still has a love for it as a hobby.

 

Outside of work and volunteering, Katie loves spending time with her husband, Will, family, friends, and her two cats, Meow-Meow & Milo. She also loves the Boston Celtics and attending music trivia nights when she has the time.
