About me

Gender Female
Location Washington, DC, United States
Introduction My name is Kate, and I was born and raised in Bartow, FL. While studying at the University of Florida, I spent the spring of 2005 and 2007 interning in Washington, DC. After the second internship, I decided to make Washington my permanent home. Since July of 2007, I have been living on my own and working full-time in DC; however, on Dec. 1 of 2008, I was laid off from my position with a boutique lobbying firm and have since faced the challenge of trying to find a new job in this tough economic climate, and as a republican, political climate, too. If I do not find a job by the end of spring, I will most likely have to move back to central Florida in hopes of finding better opportunity. Aside from this challenge, I will take advantage of my diminished social budget to stop eating out, stop drinking high-calorie cocktails, and focus on getting in better shape for the next stage of my career.
Interests The Christian faith, anything and everything Florida Gator, sports, politics, life in DC, my family and friends, my hometown, the beach, music, trying new restaurants/bars, meeting fabulous people!
