My name is Kate. I’m a Linguist and Content Strategist.

My name is Kate. I’m a Linguist and Content Strategist.

I'm also a very amateur photographer in my free time.

(i.e., I'm lucky to go to photo-worthy places. The picture above is the Matterhorn mountain, which is impossibly photogenic.)

Here's a bit of my non-work lore.

  • I have an MA in Linguistics, which means I take language seriously until I don't. All words are made up, anyway.

  • My first job out of grad school was teaching high school Spanish. (Being an educator rids you of all future embarrassment.)

  • I am the friend who will make you an Excel spreadsheet if you need help deciding which couch is the best on the market.

  • When I'm not working, there is a 65% chance that I'm listening to an episode of the Corporate Gossip podcast.
