Katie uses her platform to bring awareness to the importance of our connection to nature and our responsibility to protect the natural world. In 2023 she spoke at both the Glastonbury Festival and the Athens Women’s Football Summit, and her articles in The Guardian range from her journey with veganism to the conflicted issue of banks investing billions into fossil fuels while also sponsoring women’s football. “Even at a professional level,” she wrote, “women’s football does not have the infrastructure to protect players from severe weather events, frozen pitches and extreme heat.” Katie is a core member to the environmental sports organisation Champions for Earth and collaborates closely with Football for Future, where she has been a vocal proponent of eco-friendly practices and policies. Katie hopes to use what she has learnt during seven years as a footballer to inspire individuals to adopt greener lifestyles and support environmental preservation.
