Kate attended The University of Puget Sound for her undergraduate work and studied biology and bioethics. During her time there, she fell in love with student affairs through para-professional roles she held as a student such as being a Peer Advisor and Tour Guide. This led her to continue her education at Lewis and Clark in pursuit of a Masters Degree in Student Affairs Administration. Outside of her roles on campus, Kate enjoys vegetarian cooking, massive amounts of online shopping, and watching Studio Ghibli films.
