About Kate
I graduated in May of 2019 with a Master of Arts degree in Folk Studies from Western Kentucky University (public folklore track). In 2016, I received a BA in Anthropology from WKU.
I currently serve as the managing editor for Rites of Green, an online space curated by Humanities Washington and the Washington State Arts Commission where makers, documentarians, artists, writers, musicians, & activists from Washington’s many walks of life can exhibit their work & illuminate their regions.
In 2020, I served as the Youth & Family Programs Intern at Northwest Folklife. In this role, I worked alongside other staff members to execute a three-week pivot from an in-person version of the Northwest Folklife Festival to an online experience called From Home to Home: Northwest Folklife Festival.
