Kate was an avid soccer player while growing up in Montclair, New Jersey. She played defense for the local travel, high school and club teams and also ran track for her high school. Upon graduating in 2005, she went on to attend Amherst College. There she ran and captained both Indoor and Outdoor Track and played club soccer, while majoring in Psychology and Sociology. She led trips for high school students through Overland Summer Camps in 2008 and 2009 and then joined the full-time Overland team for the five years following graduation - most recently serving as Director of Enrollment and Operations. During her time there, she coached community youth soccer and track teams, and regularly played in the town's vibrant pick-up soccer scene. 

 

Before joining Woza full-time in 2015, Kate spent a year working and volunteering abroad in New Zealand, Australia, Africa and South America. Now based in Seattle, Wash., Woza perfectly combines her experience in the student travel industry with her passions of traveling, working with youth, and, of course, playing soccer.
