Katherine, Our Local Expert Guiding Your Move
Katherine lives in Biloxi, Mississippi, where Spanish moss hangs from live oaks and the Gulf of America often dictates your weekend plans. She is an Air Force veteran and military spouse who has moved 6 times in 15 years, including two overseas stints that involved 3 months without household goods and a very humbling lesson in patience. She knows Mississippi through lived details, coastal rhythms, local traditions, and the subtle difference between tourist spots and places locals actually go back to. Other skills include moving box Tetris, making new friends quickly, and navigating new towns with confidence. At Snappy Scout, Katherine edits with real Magnolia State instincts earned the hard way.
