The 7 Facts of Kat:
  • I love elephants. One of my life goals is to be able to volunteer at an elephant rescue for at least 6 months.

    Baby elephants are the cutest!
  • My favorite book is Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. I’ve read it at least 10 times and I still cry every time.
  • I have a disorder known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disorder and am advocate with the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association. You can read more about my story here.
  • I love Robert Smithson’s work. I wrote a twenty-page paper on his “Spiral Jetty” Earthwork while in college.

  • I’ve always wanted to be an astronaut, or a Force wielding Jedi, so I can fly among the stars.
  • I’m a proud aunt of two nephews and I’m excitedly awaiting my niece (less than 4 weeks to go now!!).
  • I love the summer heat, sunblock, lazy poolside days, and late night strolls.
My nominees (I’ve taken the liberty to cheat here and list only 11. However, these 11 have made a big impression on me in the last three weeks, so maybe that’ll make up for it.):
