Katie is enthusiastic, organized and creative. I've had the opportunity and pleasure to work with Katie at The Lutheran Home Association. Katie’s skill set in writing, branding and marketing was able to increase the quality of TLHA communications, provide creative assistance and think strategically on incorporating new initiatives. She continually delivers projects on time and on budget. Katie is thoughtful, detail orientated and dedicated. Her strengths in staying focused, brainstorming and being adaptable make her a valuable contributor to any team.

In my experience working with Katie, I found she is a self-starting, hard working professional who always strives to deliver the best end product possible. One particularly important trait Katie possesses as a public relations and marketing expert is her drive to stay current on new trends, technology and best practices. Katie utilizes the appropriate tools to complete any task given to her, meeting and exceeding expectations.

I have worked with Katie Louden for a number of months, and although we were in separate departments, the support given to our end of the operation by Katie has surpassed what her predecessors have been able to afford. Katie is definitely a strong team asset as well as a self motivated & independent worker. I believe, if given the opportunity, she will excel in both tasks requiring people skills as well as results based objectives. Katie could always be relied upon to handle public relations matters with escalated callers she was sent. Often, we would coordinate to ensure customer satisfaction was met, especially when dealing with people who required special attention. On one occasion, my wife & I had volunteered to work a publicity booth at the Minnesota State Fair; upon discovering that my wife would need to fly out of town for a family emergency, Katie stepped in with minimal notice and handled the booth by my side. Katie has also offered ample assistance with providing & conceiving of new promotional materials to help facilitate my end of the operation. This is just a small sampling of the values that Katie has shown to me directly, again, from opposite ends of the building.

Katie (Hebeisen) Louden was a standout intern in the CentraCare Health Communications Department. She came to us with a lot of energy and enthusiasm for learning. We took full advantage of that and made sure she got a great deal of hands-on experience. Katie wrote media releases, internal newsletter items and more. She got a good dose of events experience by assisting with an invitation-only retirement party for CentraCare’s chief financial officer. Although the day-to-day details of Katie’s time with us have faded from memory, I clearly recall that she was a hard worker who jumped at every opportunity she was given. And her engaging personality made her a joy to have in the department. I have watched Katie’s career from afar and have been pleased to see that she continues to be energetic, enthusiastic and willing to do whatever needs to be done. If you are looking for a star, take a close look at Katie Louden.
Jeanine Nistler - Director of Communications at CentraCare Health System
Katie and I had the opportunity to work together when I supervised a mental health awareness campaign that she conducted on the campuses of the College of St. Benedict and St. John's University. Katie demonstrated strong managerial and communication skills in her ability to bring people together, organize collective ideas and deliver a strong marketing plan. She gathered quantitative and qualitative data and held research sessions that produced information that was used not only by the campaign, but also by the on-campus counseling centers. Katie is creative, passionate and professional, making her quite an asset to any team!"
