Kathy Santiago Allen grew up in Provo and received a degree in nursing from Brigham Young University. She loved working in women’s health and in the medical spa industry in Southern California before shifting her focus to raising five kids. Her husband’s educational pursuits took them to San Diego and Los Angeles, then to St Louis, before they settled in North Phoenix. This past June they relocated to Mapleton, Utah. Kathy has loved serving in Primary presidencies, Relief Society presidencies, as Relief Society president, and most recently as a stake Relief Society president. She currently loves serving as a Young Women advisor, and her favorite calling will always be as a ministering sister.
