Katie Zillah

Katie Zillah, nicknamed “Pink Katie,” by her colleagues at the University of Idaho College of Law processes their emotions via pen. Their undergraduate degree is in Accountancy with a Sustainability Minor from Boise State University. She is seeking an emphasis in Native American Law via the Natural Resources track and hopes to work to bolster tribal sovereignty in Idaho following the bar exam. Katie believes that making art is fundamental as a way of knowing oneself. “Rot,” (Katie’s first publication) is what they describe as a result of feeling like you’re watching a trainwreck that lasts years as your loved one’s unreconcilable ideological views collide with your moral standards. The piece was written following the death of their youngest sister and is dedicated to her younger sister.  Katie and her partner are "disgustingly cute and happy" living in Boise with their cat and dog.
