College of Western Idaho (CWI) is happy to recognize Katie Price as CWI’s Staff of the Month recipient for February.

Price is an Outreach Advisor and has been with CWI since August 2014. She attended the College of Southern Idaho from 2008-10 and graduated with an associate degree in Secondary Education-Spanish. She then transferred to Boise State University and studied abroad in Puntarenas, Costa Rica in the spring 2011 semester. She graduated from Boise State with a bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education-Spanish in 2013. She currently attends Colorado State University online and is pursuing a master’s degree in Student Affairs in Higher Education.  

She exhibits the core value, Serving all in an Atmosphere of Caring. Her nomination notes, “Katie is a great first impression for CWI! She represents the core values of CWI perfectly and reflects our motto in her every action. Katie is kind and patient. Not only with students, but with fellow employees as well. She is quick to greet everyone and say good morning with a smile. She is willing to help out in any situation and is quick to pitch in and help out where needed. Her work ethic is just what CWI prides itself on. She shows up early, works late, and stays until it’s done. She is a great person inside and out and an important part to CWI.”

Price lives in Boise with her husband, Stephen, who attends Pharmacy School at Idaho State University-Meridian. The couple has a pet Beta fish named Christmas. She grew up in Mountain Home and most of her family still lives there. She enjoys traveling there to spend time with her new nephew, Elijah, and to eat Taco Johns. She likes to watch Netflix, read, hang out with friends and family, and go hiking when she is not doing schoolwork. She is also an avid listener of podcasts and loves trivia nights.

Please join in congratulating Katie.
