She received her Bachelor’s degree in Communication: Human-Computer Interaction and her Master’s degree in Computer Science: Human-Computer Interaction from Stanford. She enjoys using open source tools to build web applications and especially likes building portions of the product that interface with the user. When she is not programming, Kate is involved with organizations like Hackbright Academy, PyLadies, and Raphael House. Kate is currently traveling the world and working on personal projects.
