Kate holds her master of science in Psychology: Training, Development and Performance Improvement from Northern Michigan University. Her biggest passion comes in the form of motivating and educating students outside of the classroom, mainly through civic engagement, personal empowerment and activism. She spent six of her nine years at NMU creating, adapting and ultimately advising a grassroots, all-female student organization dedicated to service, education and leadership- a group that, arguably changed her life’s mission and ultimately lead her to stick with student affairs . She is originally from the Metro Detroit area and is currently working in student affairs at Indiana University.
