Classification: Senior
Major: Spanish Education
Hometown: Marietta, Georgia

Katie Page is a senior majoring in Spanish Education and has a minor in ESL. She is graduating this month and is currently involved in the student-teacher program, teaching high school in a school system in Northwest Georgia.

Katie is one of four girls born to Karen and Carl Stinehour. Karen works as a homemaker, and Carl is in the insurance business.

Katie became aware of Lee University through her youth group and came with them to visit on Lee Day. She explains that she just knew it was where she was supposed to be and has been happy during her time at Lee. Katie said college was about “getting out on my own and figuring out who I was.”

Katie has made many lasting friendships that have influenced her greatly in a positive way. In addition to the friendships she has developed over the years, Katie explains that her teachers have impacted her as well. Her advisor helped her find the balance between studying, getting a full college experience, and most importantly her walk with the Lord.

While at Lee, Katie has been a part of Sigma Delta Pi, the Spanish honors society. She has been involved in this group for over two years now. She also had the opportunity to go to Chile on a Lee cross-cultural trip. Katie explains that this trip had a great influence on her. It helped confirm her aspirations to teach Spanish.

Katie was blessed to find her husband through a mutual friend. It all started with a blind date. Jonathan Page is the youth pastor at the church they attend. Katie shares that she loves working in ministry especially with that age group. “It makes you feel better knowing that somebody cares about what’s going on,” she says, hoping to offer that for the teenagers she comes in contact with.

After graduation Katie plans to teach Spanish to English speakers. She would love to continue working with high school or middle school students.
