A 2022 graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University, Kate transitioned directly into her position as her first post-graduate role after serving as a student assistant in Human Resources throughout her undergraduate career. In her current role, she analyzes and reports on financial and faculty workload data to inform academic leadership decision-making and strategic planning.

Her background spans cross-functional collaboration with Human Resources, Accounting, and Institutional Effectiveness to ensure policy compliance and accurate institutional reporting for accreditation bodies. Additionally, she assists the Executive Administrative Assistant to the Provost in coordinating major institutional milestones, including Convocation and Commencement.

Outside of OWU, Kate enjoys practicing yoga and pilates, traveling abroad, attending music festivals, reading, and staying active outdoors in nature.
