In 2019 Kate was granted a ticket to see Barack Obama speak. Obama talked about civic responsibilities – that as a democratic society we have a responsibility as citizens to take care of this privilege. This sparked a desire in Kate to be involved in democracy and to recognize it as a foundation to build safe and caring communities. In 2022, Kate is pursuing her academics and exploring how she can continue to promote civic engagement.
