About Kate

My professional passion is helping not-for-profit organizations tell their stories through visual media. I’ve traveled the world telling stories, from covering the Special Olympic World Summer Games in China to reporting on a small cloister of nuns in Peru for Sister Cities International. My personal work focuses on women and their role within their own communities, including my most recent story about indigenous Mayan girls working toward their high school diplomas – a project I’m producing in partnership with nonprofit Starfish One by One.

When I’m not shooting photos, I’m editing them at The Wall Street Journal. I’ve produced editorial work for NBC and ELLE.com, as well as the WSJ, and am the official photographer for She’s the First, a nonprofit that supports girls’ education worldwide. My work with She’s the First has shown me how strongly storytelling can affect an organization’s message. Through social media, our blog and our YouTube channel, we share the stories of young women whose lives have changed because of education.

I want to know more about your organization and how you’re working to change the world. Let’s chat!
