Born in Chicago, IL, Kate’s career began at age five when she was cast as a very cute (and very judgy) squirrel whose only job was to separate the good nuts from the bad in Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Fates were decided, including her own. She knew that the stage was where she wanted to live, and her journey as an artist began.

Fast forward a couple of decades . . . after summer intensives at the University of Michigan MPulse, ArtsBridge, and Broadway Artists’ Alliance, Kate is currently studying Theatre and Vocal Performance at the University of Notre Dame.

She has appeared in multiple college productions and has performed professionally during her summers. Kate also works for Fighting Irish Media as a Stadium Host, interviewing athletes and engaging with fans on the jumbotron.
