Hello there 👋🏽 💛
I’m Kat! Currently, I’m currently focusing on personal creative projects while on sabbatical in Los Angeles.
Previously, I helped build a virtual middle and high school with the Academy of Thought and Industry and hosted online discussions on education with the Interintellect. I produced events and helped build communities for educators and learners at the Freedom Writers Foundation and TEDxUCIrvine.
Across all that I do, my personal motto has always been: “everything is fascinating”. Read, create, connect — with people, across ideas. Be curious about yourself and others. Ask bold and beautiful questions. Learn in public.
As a native Angeleno, I’m always enjoying year-round Los Angeles sunshine with my yorkie mix, Tifa.

(happiest when surrounded by books ♡ )
on my mind:
Sir Ken Robinson’s “Creative Schools” — redefining education from an industrial to an organic system
Erik Torenberg’s “Opportunities in Education” — how startups can unbundle education
Maria Montessori’s "1964 London Lectures" — philosophy & pedagogy for guiding a child’s full potential
Seth Godin’s “Stop Stealing Dreams” — manifesto to provoke conversation about our edu systems
