Born and raised in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, USA, the youngest of nine children, Katelyn became a first-generation college graduate when she earned a BA in Visual Arts, with a music minor, from Brigham Young University in Provo, UT.

After graduating, she channeled her creativity into raising her family, homeschooling, and running her own blogging-based business, while her husband pursued advanced degrees in Indiana and then Texas.

She transformed their family blog – What’s up Fagans? – into a 6-figure business in the first four years of operation by being strategic with the content she created, collaborating with amazing brands, and cultivating an engaged audience.

Katelyn and her mentor, Katie Clark, joined together to create several blogging courses and products at Best Blog Courses in order to more formally, and affordably, teach others how to be successful online as bloggers.

In 2021, with seven children in tow, including her two sets of twins, Katelyn’s family moved from New York to Utah so she could return to Brigham Young University for her Master in Business Administration (MBA).

She completed a Strategic Leadership Development Program internship at Owens Corning in Toledo, OH during her MBA, working on developing a new roofing shingle. She consulted dozens of companies throughout the program and as a member of the BYU Marketing Lab.

Post-graduation she landed a job at Zerorez, Inc. as the Marketing Director over Brand Strategy and Creative Development, where she’ll lead a team of creatives and unify the brand messaging and positioning across the company and franchisees.

Katelyn is a hard-working, collaborative, analytical, smart, and talented woman who enjoys life, laughing, and her family. She loves being outside, listening to music, doing jigsaw puzzles, listening to audiobooks, watching movies, and experiencing new things.
