Hi, I’m Katy Harrell! I’m originally from Spartanburg, South Carolina, and after graduating from Clemson University, I moved to Charlotte — where I’ve lived ever since. I’ve been married to my husband for nine years, and we have two amazing kids — a five-year-old daughter and a two-year-old son.

At 33, I was diagnosed with breast cancer when my son was just eight months old. That experience changed my life and inspired me to use my voice to make a difference. Today, I’m a social media creator who shares fashion, beauty, fitness, and family life while raising awareness for breast cancer and mental health.

I’m so excited to be part of Dancing with the Stars of Charlotte! I’ve always loved dancing, and I’m honored to help raise money for local charities — especially those supporting breast cancer research and awareness. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and friends, working out, traveling, shopping, reading, and living life to the fullest.
