Katelynn, 24 – West Palm Beach, FL

Katelynn is a native of West Palm Beach and was raised in a religious Italian household, where she dreamed of being as good of a mother to her children as her own mom has been to her.  Yet, this goal seemed unattainable since Katelynn was born male.  In high school, she realized that something was missing in her life, and she began the slow transgender process by starting to dress in more feminine clothing.  By age 17, she began living as a woman.  This past July, Katelynn traveled to Thailand to undergo surgery to complete her transformation.  She is a self-proclaimed computer geek and holds a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.  After a string of bad relationships, she hopes to one day marry her current boyfriend, Mike.
