Kate grew up in Wyoming where she enjoyed playing basketball and riding 4-wheelers. She attended Western Wyoming Community College and got her Associates degree in Business Management. Afterward she attended Dakota Wesleyan University and received her Bachelors in Accounting. She loved (most of her) accounting classes but especially enjoyed history and political science classes.

Kate loves business as a whole, probably because both of her parents started small businesses and the family helped run them together! She had a passion for Accounting in school and loved the practical nature of it. She enjoyed seeing the way it turns up in daily life and how working in Accounting helps other small businesses like the one she grew up in. It’s no surprise she specializes in bookkeeping at WCG!

Kate is married to a wonderful man named Jake, and they have two dogs — a Corgi-Walker mix, and a standard long hair Dachshund. They love long stumpy dogs!

When she’s not working you can usually find her walking the dogs, swimming, or playing basketball and pickle ball. Kate and her husband are big sports fans, so they enjoy attending NBA games and professional women’s Soccer when they’re in season. Oh, and she’s in the process of pursuing her CPA license, so she’s pretty busy!

Can you do something that only a few people can do? “I can assemble several models of professional copy machines, mostly Toshiba, Ricoh, and Sharp.“
