Katie Nixon

Katie Nixon is the Tennessean's regional reporter for Cheatham, Robertson and Sumner Counties. She attended Nashville Christian School through her elementary, middle and high school years. Katie graduated from the University of Tennessee at Martin in 2017 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Relations, concentrated in International Business and Economic Development as a first-generation undergraduate student. Born and raised here, Cheatham County is where she spent her summers slurping ICEEs at Finch's Country Store after soccer tournaments or volleyball workouts canoeing on the Harpeth River backroad driving with friends. Katie was 14 when the flood of 2010 wreaked havoc on their counties, leaving its disastrous muddy imprint on them all and has also been through her fair share of tornadoes gripping weather radios listening to violent wind whipping over houses.
