Katie Valverde

Student Ministry (PSM) High School Coordinator 

Where Are you from?

Blacksburg, Virginia

Where did you go to School?

I graduated in 2025 from Christopher Newport University with a B.A. in Psychology 

Who is your family?

My husband, Nate, and I got married in August of 2026. I have family scattered throughout Virginia and one of my sisters is in the area (Lauren Highfield, who I have the joy of working with!) 

what do you enjoy most about your role at the chapel?

I love watching the Gospel transform the hearts of the students at PCC. I also have the joy of discipling high school girls and meeting with them is often the best part of my week! The Lord has. given me a front row seat into the lives of these students, and it is a priviledge to walk with them.

fun fact:

My husband and I met through a podcast! I was on a podcast, hosted by a friend of my parents, that Nate listened to and through that we met and are now married!
