Katie Conaway
Director of Marketing
Katie was introduced to the travel industry through her early work in theater group sales and a local tourism organization in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her undergraduate work centered on Arts Administration and she received a graduate degree in Arts Management and Program Development. Her passion for education stems from her time as Director of Education & Outreach at Pittsburgh Public Theater, and long-time board service for local arts education nonprofit, TJ Arts. A life-long adventurer, Katie studied in London during college and has traveled extensively with her husband, including South Africa, Thailand, across the UK, Europe, and beyond. She believes travel has the power to challenge preconceptions, help young people become citizens of the world, and develop a deep respect for other cultures. Previously, Katie specialized in international and domestic tourism sales at VisitPITTSBURGH. She is delighted to combine her passion for travel and education at Global Travel Alliance. In her free time, Katie enjoys photography, live theater, and planning future travel adventures.
