She comes to ABC11 after spending two years in Eugene, Oregon, as a Sports Anchor/Reporter at KEZI 9 News. Kate primarily covered the Oregon Ducks and Oregon State Beavers, along with the Portland Trail Blazers and global track events that took place at Hayward Field. She also produced and hosted Friday night high school football/basketball shows. Kate traveled up and down the West Coast during the Pac-12 football season.

Prior to Oregon, Kate served as a production assistant at ESPN's headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut, where she created content for SportsCenter.
Kate is a proud graduate of the University of Rhode Island. She completed internships at WLNE in Providence and WFXT in Boston. Kate got to cover the 2018 World Series at Fenway Park, the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs and regularly attend New England Patriots games and practices.

Kate was born and raised outside of Boston. She is stoked to be back on the east coast!
When she's not at work, you can find Kate enjoying the outdoors, shopping at Target, listening to country music, trying new restaurants or talking on the phone with her dad about Celtic's basketball.
