Kate is a lifelong science geek and lover of all things HMNS. As a native Houstonian, she practically grew up in the museum! Kate earned her graduate degree in anthropology from the University of Houston, where she also teaches undergraduate biological anthropology courses. In 2019, she joined the HMNS collections team full-time as a museum technician. On a typical day you can find her haunting the cabinets in the deep recesses of the anthropology collections. When she's not totally immersed in the world of anthropology she also enjoys writing, expanding her comparative osteology collection and a nice Chianti.
