“I was on a timeline of only a few months to fund and produce my first conducted improv show, and Kate took my time constraint in stride. Within an hour she helped me go from having no idea where to start fundraising, to having clear next steps and a draft of an event description I could share with potential supporters. She asked insightful questions and walked me through drafting language that was aligned with my vision, and wording that could make my unusual show concept make sense to the people I wanted to approach. She shared resources and templates and continued to offer her support as I worked on my materials. The show was a huge success and I credit lots of that to Kate’s ability to distill the message and experience of what I was creating! If you’ve got an event idea and aren’t sure how to talk about it or make it happen, I highly recommend you get Kate on your team.”

“Exceptionally organized, deeply creative, overdelivers. [Kate] makes herself indispensable and irreplaceable.”
Abigail Shiman, Violinist and Teacher
“You're creative, inspiring, and passionate about what you do. You have genuine interest in helping folks figure out their goals and what they are looking for. You're organized and structured in a way that not many people are. You are gentle but clear in feedback, down to earth, and straight forward. You're about inspiration and finding your own path. You're a creative, but not a musician, which is an inspiring and refreshing angle for a musician.”

“Kate has magical superpowers in the arenas of program development, community organizing, and event planning. Her process focuses on creating exceptional value and adding innovation, while also honoring equity and respect in any (Zoom) room. And as if her skills weren't impressive enough, she also possesses the rare ability to manage even the most chaotic situations with grace and authenticity. It's not always easy to do the messy work that creative communities call upon, and yet Kate can turn these tough times into opportunities and celebrations. Collaborating with Kate in a creative non-profit environment has been an absolute pleasure and I am grateful to have her as a mentor. You will be too!”
