Background
Kate grew up in a semi-rural area near Victoria B.C., then moved to UBC for an undergraduate degree in philosophy. She’s now studying Library, Archival and Information Science at UBC. In her position, she’s figuring out how information flows in an organization and how she might facilitate that flow – and is really enjoying it! She says that it combines her love of design, people and information.
Hands-On
Kate likes designing and building woodworking projects! One of her first projects was a small bike shed which is still standing at her parents’ place. She says her father hides it with a piece of plywood when guests come over.
