My Story

Hello, my name is Katrina S. Williams. I currently reside in Honolulu, Hawaii, although I'm originally from Linden, Alabama. Khloe, Kaden, Kasey, and Kaige are my four beautiful and unique children. I have been serving as an active member of the United States Army for almost 20 years. Here’s a brief summary about who I am and my life!

​

After graduating high school, I wanted to work as a school counselor so I could guide other young teens in the same manner that my school counselor had guided me. I attended Concordia College in Selma Alabama on a basketball scholarship, where I earned my elementary education bachelor's degree in 2007. I taught school for a few years so that I could coach girls’ basketball, but I allowed test anxiety to prevent me from passing the practicum, so I had to reassess my career goals.

​

In 2008, I started my master’s degree at the University of West Alabama, but life had a different plan for me during that time. I believe you must have the mindset and maturity to conquer your goals and overlook your obstacles. In 2009, I started a job at Selma University as the enrollment manager and admissions director; this was a great experience! I met a lot of people and helped over 700 students get enrolled in college.

​

Unfortunately, the income wasn’t there to support all my family’s needs as a single parent, so again I had to re-evaluate and seek more opportunities! Being a member of the Army Reserves already, I decided to go on active duty and accept a new challenge. During so I met a friend who encouraged me beyond measure, I watched her career and personal life develop as she overcame many challenges. She was determined to achieve all her goals, and I used her blueprint to get focused and finish my career goals.

In 2015, I attended Webster University and completed my first master’s degree in public relations. I didn’t stop there because I wanted more. In December 2019, I completed a graduate certificate in gerontology, and in December 2021, I completed my second master’s degree in human services. In addition, I am a commissioned minister under the International Ministerial Fellowship, a certified sexual assault victim advocate, an equal opportunity and suicide prevention leader. I am currently applying for the Army’s Chaplain program and pursuing a master’s in divinity in pastoral counseling to help Soldiers and their families, which brings me to my passion: starting my own business to help others mentally, spiritually, and emotionally become their best holistic selves! I love making people smile and seeing them operate at their full potential!
