Kate grew up in Southeastern Wisconsin and joined the United States Army shortly after graduating high school. She served as an Intelligence Analyst and Drill Sergeant in various duty stations around the world including a combat tour in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. She separated after 11 years to focus on family.

She earned her Bachelor’s in Business Administration and Master’s in Industrial & Organizational Psychology after separating from the military. She currently lives in Miami, Florida where her husband is still serving on active duty. She enjoys supporting her husband and daughter as they participate competitively in kayak fishing, and hopes to instill the same love of outdoors in the rest of their children. Kate is looking forward to working with and assisting the veteran and military community.
