Kate grew up in a small town north of Pittsburgh PA, Oil City, In high school, Kate excelled in basketball, track and cross country.

Since she was only  5'4" and generally heard the coach say "Kate, don't shoot! Just sprint back for defense!" she decided to focus on running.  Kate took a competitive running hiatus in college while completing her studies in civil engineering.  Kate ran her first marathon in 2004, and has improved steadily.  In 2010, Kate had a breakthrough season, setting PRs at every distance, and  placing third at the New Orleans Mardi Gras Rock n Roll Marathon. Kate currently works as a consultant for government clients in DC.
