Hello, everyone! My name is Katie McFadden and I'm 22 years old, living in San Francisco, CA. I am beyond excited to be representing the city in which I was born and raised as the San Francisco Rose.
I am currently working as a firefighter for the state of California where I respond to a variety of different and meaningful calls. I love what I do because every day is different and I get to give back to my community. In the future, I aspire to become a captain with the San Francisco Fire Department, where I will be able to help future generations learn about themselves and their careers.
Growing up in San Francisco has given me an amazing opportunity to learn and stay in touch with my Irish roots. Both my maternal grandparents were born and raised in Co Kerry, in Ballyheigue and Causeway. My paternal grandfather was raised in Donegal and my grandmother was born and raised in San Francisco.
When I am not working, I love to travel, hike, and spend time with family and friends. I am an outgoing and friendly person and I am delighted to start the Rose Tour with an amazing group of like-minded and passionate women.
