Kate (she/they) is a UVic masters student focusing on the study of discrete math. Hailing from a small town in the prairies, Kate has been nothing if not impressed by the amazing natural landscapes ripe for exploring in BC. As such, Kate tries to spend their time away from their desk trail-running, hiking, and beachcombing. Although currently focused on studying math, Kate also has a special place in their academic heart for coding, economics, information management, and market research. She is quite social and therefore willing to befriend just about anyone who wants to sip coffee and chat about school, life, cartoons, women’s and LGBTQIA2+ rights, or whatever naturally comes up!
