Katie Chosa Franklin is a New Orleans native who grew up in Gentilly. After dropping out of LSU after six weeks and going to work, Katie decided to give college another shot. It stuck better the second time, and she earned both the BA and the MA in English from UNO. 

After teaching her first class of composition students in Fall 2010 as a teaching assistant, she was hooked. Katie truly loves to teach writing, whether it's composition, technical writing, or journalism, and literature to UNO students.

M.A., University of New Orleans, 2011
