Katina Behm
Katina grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia and played field hockey at the University of Connecticut, and has never been in as good of shape since. She met her husband, Justin, at a bar in Pittsburgh and, despite many romantic Skype dates, found a long-distance relationship to be a drag and moved to Fargo in 2010. She's a bonus mom to Justin's son, Owen (2005), they have twins Augie and Delphi (2016), and a Great Dane, Moose. She's a Speech-Language Pathologist who enjoys helping her patients improve their quality of life. She is also a Certified Sculpt Instructor at Mojo Fit Studios where she attends weekly yoga to stay sane. Katina loves showing the world to her kids (but also seeing the world through their eyes), trying new foods, and listening to live music. On most weekends, you can find her at one of her kids' many activities by day, and by night, on the couch in sweats, eating a homemade charcuterie board and drinking cheap wine she bought at Costco. She still has video call dates, but now they're with friends and family who live all over the place.
