In addition to overseeing departmental administrative operations, she is responsible for coordinating facility maintenance. Kate serves as a key point of contact for students with questions about facilities or those needing to request lockers. She also works closely with recipients of SLIS travel scholarships, assisting with travel planning and reimbursement processes. 

Outside of work, Kate is the mother of three wonderful children. She finds joy in the outdoors—whether hiking, kayaking, or exploring nature with a field guide in hand to identify local plants, animals, and insects. Her favorite pastime, however, is spending quality time with her family.
