The Kat Files

Welcome to The Kat Files. I’m Katherine “Kat” Loyacano, and I write about finding adventure in everyday life. Ten years ago, I took a sabbatical from teaching 2nd grade to pursue other interests. My lifelong friend Michelle encouraged me to start a blog to hone my writing skills. Ten years later, I’m back in education, still blogging about my interests and dreams, striving to live a happy, productive, and positive life, and continuing my journey as an actor. At this point in my life, I’m ready to take my writing and acting to the next level, develop content that will inspire others to live their best life, and build a platform where I can share what I have learned with others.

More About Kat

I am married to a wonderful man named Barry (32 years). We are the proud parents of two sons, Barry, Jr. and Andrew. We share our home in Hammond, Louisiana with our two dogs, Sophie and Comet aka Tooty, and our cat Puar. Currently, I work full-time as an Instructional Coach at Holy Ghost Catholic School (Pre-K2-8th grade) where I assist the teachers and administration with curriculum in a variety of ways. God has blessed me with an awesome life filled with terrific people, precious fur babies, and many memorable experiences.

I enjoy reading, scrapbooking, blogging, improv, acting, writing, singing, listening to music and podcasts, watching television and movies, playing board games and video games, gardening, exercising (especially walking), working on puzzles, eating Chinese food, and spending time with my fabulous family and fantastic friends.
