Kate’s Work
I’ve had the great fortune of working in a variety of industries all over the world and with individuals and organizations (large and small). My past experiences in arts administration, community development, education, healthcare, hospitality, law, media & entertainment, retail, and technology give me the breadth of experience to support any team with their goals. My work is not only limited to what I’ve done in my career – I’m also a community leader and creative. See samples of my work and my CV below.
Talks & Media
The following is a sampling of my work in talks and media. Here you’ll see me as a podcast guest, interview subject, storyteller, panelist, and speaker.
Writing
My mother was a teacher and an English major. My favorite class in school was always English, for the writing. Writing is my nature. When I am stuck emotionally, intellectually, spiritually… I write and I get unstuck. I write to express, to connect, and to inspire.
Cincifatty Body Liberation Community
My own liberation journey has required that I build and deepen a trusting relationship with my body. After moving to Cincinnati, OH from Los Angeles, CA I deeply missed the fat-positive community there.
Cincinnati, like every place, needed community for body liberation too and Cincifatty was born!
