Name of Fangirl: Katie
Fangirl’s Occupation: Middle School Teacher
What is her Fangirl interest?
Star Wars (EVERYTHING Star Wars).
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
Because she’s a bigger fan of Star Wars than anyone else in this city. Because she encourages her students to embrace their inner geekiness and love what their passion is, even if it is something off the wall like Star Wars.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
She wears Star Wars t-shirts every day. Her classroom door for Christmas was decorated with her own painted Darth Reindeer poster. She has Star Wars posters all over her HOME ECONOMICS classroom. Her school keys are on a Star Wars lanyard. Her phone case is Han Solo in Carbonite. Her house is covered in framed Star Wars posters… I could go on.

It’s cool to be geeky.
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
Imperial logo/stormtrooper leggings. iPhone with Han Solo in Carbonite case. Legit lightsaber (not one of those cheapy Toys R Us ones either).
