Before joining Skillet, Korey was a member of the band Alkeme along with Lori Peters, other people from her church, and her sister.

Korey joined Skillet in 1999, between the albums Hey You, I Love Your Soul and Invincible. She has two children, Alexandria and Xavier, and had other musicians fill in for her on tour when they were born. She has co-written many of Skillet's songs with her husband.

In interviews and blogs, she said that Skillet guitarist Ben Kasica is her "coffee friend", because they both have a love of coffee, and John Cooper and Lori Peters don't really drink coffee.
