Her Interview
Ten minutes with Kate
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to creative perseverance and thinking beyond conventional boundaries. I believe in finding, and participating in, innovative solutions where others see obstacles and staying resilient in the face of challenges.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I’ve ever received is to do what I do best while staying adaptable. By embracing change and focusing on where I can make the greatest impact, I’ve learned to overcome challenges and create meaningful results.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Be clear about what you want and stay grounded in your core values. Make sure your actions consistently reflect those values to avoid distraction! Your personal brand is your most valuable asset.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest challenges in my field is also one of the biggest opportunities; preserving the value of uniquely human impact as AI continues to evolve. The greatest opportunity lies in combining technology with human empathy, creativity, and lived experience to develop solutions that are meaningful, authentic, and lasting. There is so much value in what AI brings to the table. If we can pair that with human experience and situational subjectivity, we will be able to drastically increase the "so what" factor of advancing technology.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values that matter most to me are honesty, accountability, and proactive communication. I believe in being transparent about what happened, taking responsibility for my actions, learning from every experience, and communicating openly to build trust and continuously improve.
