Katrina Emmel

Agent

Katrina grew up in New Hampshire, and has a love for literature and science. She studied biochemistry in college before moving to the Midwest for graduate school, where she earned her Ph.D. in chemistry. Continuing her journey to the West Coast, Katrina lives in Southern California with her husband, two children, father-in-law, and their rascally beagle pups, Doc and Wyatt.


Katrina writes young adult romance and children’s fiction and non-fiction (with a hearty helping of STEM). Her family raises milkweed and monarch butterflies to help conservation efforts. She loves chai with French vanilla creamer, Lithuanian dill pickles, science and nature, traveling, music, and crafting. Fun fact: Hurricane Katrina was not named after her but she was named after a character in Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew.
