Kate started dancing at the age of 3 in Boulder, Colorado. While training, she attended summer intensives at The Harid Conservatory, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Atlanta Ballet, and Texas Ballet Theater. After high school she spend two years in the Atlanta Ballet conservatory program, performing company corps roles in "The Nutcracker" at the Fox Theater. Kate then returned to Colorado, and joined Boulder Ballet. In her seven seasons in the company, she performed roles such as Dew Drop Fairy in "The Nutcracker",  the penché girl in Paul Taylor’s "Airs," Helena in "A Midsummer’s Night Dream," and guested as Myrtha in the school's production of "Giselle",.

While dancing and teaching, Kate completed her Bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences online through the University of South Dakota, initially with a pre-nursing focus. Once discovering the path for Certified Anesthesiology Assistant, she worked with the University of Colorado, Boulder to complete the necessary pre-requisites and study for the MCAT. Kate is now in the process of applying and interviewing for Masters in Anesthesia programs across the country.
