Kat is a senior at Penn State double majoring in political science and history. She spent last semester in London, interning for a Member of Parliament and studying, and is currently writing her thesis on environmental politics. She started playing club volleyball when she was nine due to the influence of her mom, who played at Penn State under Coach Rose. In addition to playing club her whole life, she also played for her CYO, middle school and high school teams. As a player, she assisted younger teams at her club, and helped run camps for beginners at her high school. Last year she coached 13u at HVA, our youngest age group at the time. She enjoys working with novices and building the foundational skills necessary for them to excel in the future.
