With a diverse background spanning business, design, social media marketing, and strategy, Kat is a dynamic force dedicated to making a positive impact. Born and raised in California, her journey began in her early 20s when she delved into the world of Mortgage Banking, managing accounts for seven of the largest banks in the nation.

Her entrepreneurial spirit led her to establish an interior design company, “My Very Own Room,” initially focusing on whimsical children's theme rooms. This venture expanded into model homes for custom builds and Model Home Merchandising as the owner of MVOR Designs.

Her innovative approach garnered attention, earning her a feature in Business Week for her work with real estate investors and couples flipping homes using Home Staging.

In the wake of the 2008 housing market crash, Kat embraced total freedom, embarking on an unexpected path by undergoing an apprenticeship to become a tattoo artist. Operating her private studio, she honed her craft and even traveled the tattoo circuit, collaborating with esteemed artists.

The tragic murder of her best friend in 2010 deeply impacted her life and led her to focus on emotional, mental, and physical healing. As she started documenting her journey through an online diary on a platform called SocialCam, her content resonated with millions of users, and her daily video posts began trending.

This newfound visibility caught the attention of Chuck D. from Public Enemy, who invited her to launch a show he named— ”Dear Kat”.

This experience ignited her passion for social media, leading her to transition to Periscope (owned by Twitter), where she continued to connect with others and share her story. From there, she dove into social media marketing, helping businesses and individuals leverage these platforms to build their presence, connect authentically, and drive results.

A heart for service and a passion for helping others navigate life's challenges led Kat and her family to relocate to North Dakota.

She earned national certification in therapeutic approaches, empowering therapists, teachers, and individuals to overcome negative behaviors and trauma.

Over the past two decades, Kat has utilized her multifaceted expertise to facilitate substantial growth for businesses and brands across various industries. From working alongside high-impact performers and real estate moguls to navigating the corporate arena and the entertainment industry, Kat has consistently delivered results. Beyond her professional endeavors, she has dedicated herself to supporting individuals facing addiction, homelessness, and trauma, embodying a commitment to social responsibility and community empowerment. Her influence extends globally as she collaborates with non-profits overseas, crafting compelling brand narratives that resonate and inspire change internationally.

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Kat has a profoundly personal journey of resilience and triumph. Over 20 years ago, she faced the challenges of homelessness and addiction, yet through sheer determination and perseverance, she overcame these obstacles and embraced a clean and sober lifestyle.

Today, Kat finds fulfillment in her personal pursuits and family life. A devoted mother of ten, including four recent adoptions, she demonstrates her commitment to creating a loving and nurturing home environment.

An avid reader with a goal of devouring 50 books this year, Kat values continuous learning and personal growth. She finds solace in her faith, a guiding light in her journey.

Outside of work and reading, Kat enjoys immersing herself in nature through camping adventures with her husband and children. Their cherished moments together, alongside their four cats and two dogs, Daisy and Dixie, bring joy and balance to her life.

With an unwavering dedication to her professional endeavors and personal passions, Kat embodies resilience, creativity, and boundless compassion, inspiring others to live with purpose and authenticity.
