Katherine Snow Smith has lived throughout the south as a newspaper reporter,
magazine editor, adjunct instructor, daughter, sister, mother, wife, divorcee and friend. She graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and started her journalism career covering three minuscule towns in South Carolina. After a stint covering business in Charlotte she got married, moved to St. Petersburg, Florida, and started a 20-year career at the Tampa Bay Times. Katherine raised three children with her husband, a fellow journalist. After their 24-year-marriage ended and last child went away to college, Katherine returned to her native North Carolina to be closer to her parents in Raleigh. Now, three kids, two careers and one divorce later, she’s back at her alma mater getting a master’s degree in Media and Communications so she can teach journalism on a college level. Most of her classmates are less than half her age. They help her with coding homework and she waxes on annoyingly about how life has many chapters they’ll never expect. Some are piercing. Some are priceless. Keep turning the page.
