Meet Katie Lowen

For a time, Katie Lowen was touring internationally as a contemporary dancer. But when the pandemic closed down theaters, she sought another avenue to develop herself. Now, earning her master’s in computer science through the Align program in Vancouver, Katie finds herself immersed in a career path she’d never imagined.

I thought if I could work as a contemporary dance artist and also be able to do things on the technical side, it would open the doors [for me] in the arts world
