Hi, I'm Kate!

I'm a teaching artist based in New York City. My goal is to bring beauty and truth into the world in the small ways I can.  I sing, act, and play the piano, seeking to be better each day, while helping my students realize their fullest potential. 

Although I didn't always know that music would become the focus of my life’s work, I've been making music as long as I can remember. My first grade school teacher gave me the nickname, "hummingbird," because I was incessantly (and inadvertently) humming and singing in class. Neither of my parents are musicians, and so it was a surprise to them when at age eight I asked for a piano. I started taking lessons then, performed in my first musical shortly after, and have been making music ever since. Music has always been a part of me, but it also has not come easily. I spent many years struggling to find my voice and I’ve written about it here in my blog.
