Kate as an artist is something of a jack-of-all trades.  She has worked as an actor, singer, dancer, voiceover artist, writer, director, and teacher.  Until recently, she had been living in Gainesville, Florida, earning an M.F.A. in Acting from the University of Florida.  She attended UF on a teaching assistantship, which meant that while she was busy learning the finer points of acting, she was also teaching budding young protegés what it's all about.

Originally, Kate hails from the Second City (which will always be first in her eyes)--Chicago, Illinois.  Though her love for Chicago knows no bounds, and she hopes to return to work there someday soon, she decided that the best place to put her Master's Degree to the test is by going to the Master of all theatre cities--New York, NY.  So she packed up her life and drove it north, and now she has set up shop in the Big Apple.    She received her B.A. from the University of Notre Dame, and while for three years she masqueraded as a Gator, in truth, she is a Fightin' Irish girl through and through.

While studying in Gainesville, Kate has had the privilege of working and interning at at the Hippodrome Theatre, appearing as Sister James in DOUBT, Barbara in NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, Catherine in THE MEMORY OF WATER, the Caterpillar in ALICE IN WONDERLAND, Miss Foxhill in SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER, and Mrs. Dilber in A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

Favorite roles at the University of Florida included Annie in THE REAL THING, Ursula in VINCENT IN BRIXTON (Irene Ryan Acting Nominee), Lady Townley in THE MAN OF MODE and Mrs. Gibbs in an international touring production of OUR TOWN. 

Kate is a proud member of Actors’ Equity Association.
