Katie Schurke

Program Manager

Hi, my name is Katie Schurke and I am a Program Manager for WESCO Industries. I took this position over in March 2020. I have been with WESCO since May 2016. Before taking my Program Manager role, I was a Residential Coordinator for a short time, worked in the QA department as the Quality Assurance Assistant Manager of Programming for 3 years, and when I originally was hired at WESCO I was a team lead for 1 year. Before my employment with WESCO I worked at New Hope Village for 4 years (16 years old-20 years old) as a weekend package working with critical care clientele. I love to help people in every way that I can, this is why I love working at WESCO Industries!!

I was born and raised on a farm outside of Westside, IA. Graduating from Ar-We-Va in 2014 and then went on to attend DMACC in Ankeny. I am very involved in community activities. I have recently bought a home in Westside, IA. In my free time I love to be with my family and when the weather is right, I love to be outside!
