Migraine Community Advocate Katie GoldenKatie was previously an advocate on Migraine.com.

Katie M. Golden is a writer and community moderator for Migraine.com since 2013. She worked for 15 years in the community banking industry before her episodic migraine became a chronic, everyday occurrence in 2011. This disabling disease left her unable to return to her beloved job. She quickly pivoted to become a patient advocate and joined Migraine.com in 2013 to share her experiences with the 40 million Americans who suffer from Migraines. Her motto is “Living a Fulfilled Life While Managing Chronic Migraines.”
