My name is Katie Meinerding and in 2004 I started working at Cincinnati Gymnastics while finishing up my degree from UC in Organizational Communications.  Eventually I became Preschool Director about a year after I started.  I currently coach preschool, classroom, and training team throughout the week.  Another good place to look for me is on Sundays doing b-day parties, open gyms or just re-setting the gym.  The most important part of my life that I’d like to tell you about is … Miranda!  A little over two years ago I met Kim Albrecht who asked me if I was interested in working with her autistic daughter.  I agreed without knowing how much she would impact my life.  She is such a blessing and has taught me so much about myself and others.  I’m very grateful that CGA has brought so many wonderful people and experiences into my life. 

Hope you too will have the same experience I did !
