Kate can’t imagine her life without running. She ran her first race at nine years old and has been at it ever since, from winning two state track titles in high school to the NC 8K cross country state championship in 2017 to a steady flow of half and full marathons as she approaches the master's category.

As Fleet Feet’s Brand Manager, Kate leads brand campaigns and helps ensure a consistent, meaningful experience across every customer touchpoint. As a wear tester, she puts all types of shoes and gear to the test on trail runs, road runs and races.

Kate lives with her husband, son and cat in Asheville, North Carolina and runs for the Asheville Running Collective.
