KateLynn Heavilon
Podcast Lead
KateLynn was born and raised just outside of St. Louis, Missouri. She met her Army reservist husband while KateLynn was pursuing her undergraduate degree. Her husband transitioned to active duty shortly after they married and spent time at Fort Hood, Texas, before an MOS change and move to Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Fort Bragg was a blessing for KateLynn as she found her footing as a milspouse and the difference she could make for the military community.
Her husband then volunteered for Drill Sergeant School which led them to their current duty station, Goodfellow AFB, Texas, where she was named the Armed Forces Insurance 2022 Goodfellow AFB Spouse Of The Year.
KateLynn, her husband Justin, and their two rescue pups, Colt and Taurus, are very excited to begin their next adventure in Germany! She enjoys spending time with their rescue dogs, being outdoors in nature, and doing DIY projects.
