Katy Hammel was born in Japan, the daughter and grand-daughter of American Protestant missionaries. As a child, she traveled the world with her family, but she always knew she was an American girl and she longed to live in the USA.
After finishing her undergraduate degree at Yale University, Katy worked as a foster care and adoption social worker in Brooklyn, New York, as a government issues analyst in Fairfield, Connecticut, and as a plaintiffs’ civil rights lawyer in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Now Katy serves as an Assistant Principal at one of the largest public high schools in New Mexico.
Having grown up in a country as densely populated as Japan, Katy is drawn to the wide-open spaces of the American west. Katy and her husband are raising two boys in New Mexico.
