Katie Orscher was born in Farmington, Connecticut and raised in Glastonbury, Connecticut.
Orscher was originally a single skater. She won the junior bronze medal at the 2000 U.S. Championships. She retired from singles in November 2000 to compete in pairs.
From 2000 through 2006, she competed with partner Garrett Lucash. Lucash remembered her during his search for a partner and gave her a call. They both rotate clockwise. They trained in Simsbury, Connecticut.
