ABOUT ME

I am very grateful for the life I have lived and the experiences that I have been fortunate enough to make memories of. It is difficult to write an “about me” because I believe my story is so much more than a few paragraphs on my website. Below I share an overview of my life and hope that we can learn more about each other sometime soon.

My name is Katlyn Stevens and I call Atlanta, Georgia home.

I have been traveling around the world since 2014.

I am currently based out of Santiago, Chile which is where my amazing husband is from, but I am constantly looking for the next place to travel to - so this may change sooner than expected.

I love adventure, meeting new people and telling stories from around the world. In addition to travel, my passion is soccer/football/fútbol.

I have played the beautiful game since I was 3 years old. I think my love for it has become stronger the older that I get because it is the only thing that is the same all around the world. Wherever I go, I always form connections through soccer.

I began learning Spanish in Spanish Immersion courses my sophomore year of college when I took a semester abroad in Costa Rica. I had the goal to become bi-lingual since I was young and after living in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Spain, Mexico and Chile - and immersing myself in the language and culture of these countries - I am proud to say I am a fluent speaker.

I am a skilled digital marketer and have had success in this field across 3 different continents. I originally thought I wanted to be a graphic designer, but after two different international internships (Italy and Guatemala) I was offered a third internship in Digital Content at Atlanta United FC and that was when I realized what I really wanted to do.

I wanted to create engaging content, manage digital strategies, connect brands to their community, and most of all - tell stories.

I enjoy helping brands find themselves in the digital space and take advantage of the positive changes a well-managed digital presence can bring to a business.

While I enjoy managing digital and I am good at it, my goal for the next few years is to get more experience producing and hosting. My outgoing nature, passion and creativity are traits that I love to put to use when given these projects. I also know that my expertise in social media and digital content gives me an added advantage on these projects.

The ability to work remote indefinitely, control my work-life balance and make my own schedule are the three things that pushed me to quit my agency job and become a full-time freelancer the summer of 2020.

I am grateful that I was able to take this opportunity and make a living out of it - and am excited to see where it goes!

Thank you for taking the time to read this - I would love to learn more about you.
