Katie Floyd
From Florida model and bartender to California private contractor at only 19 years old, Katie has been pushing head first into all of life's challenges.
Katie started her career with EDMTV shortly after moving to LA from Pensacola, FL. She up and left her home town after suffering the loss of her boyfriend, Cameron Burke, on July 5th 2015. The tragedy pushed her to embrace life and forced her out of her comfort zones as she moved to a place she had never even visited prior. Although interestingly enough, LA was not the original destination. A friend of Katie's in Canada had offered her some help in this trying time, so she flew to Vancouver in hopes of finding work and a fresh start. After Customs denied her at the border for not having the correct paperwork, they sent her on the first plane out to the US with no money and no plan.
"If I've learned anything, it's that your network is your net worth. Without Facebook I wouldn't have survived my first night homeless in LA"
Although she had never visited or lived in California before, she had a Facebook friend who did and just like that, she was living in Tom Petty's Encino mansion for the next 2 months.
While in the area, Katie managed to force herself into all kinds of wonderful trouble beginning with meeting EDMTV at the Maxim Halloween party. Soon she became apart of the team and landed them their first $millions in investments.
"While at the mansion, someone came up to me and cautiously told me that I was swimming with the sharks. At which I couldn't help but reply with, how else am I going to learn to swim?"
A natural born hustler, survivor, and fighter. Katie Floyd is definitely a woman to watch for 2016.
