Hello, my name is Kate although until very recently I went by Katherine. Of course, I am still the same person, however, I feel as though Kate is the more outgoing, friendly, and less-reserved side of my personality. So I felt that with the coming of college and the enormous changes my life was about to undergo, I decided to give “Kate” her much-needed time in the spotlight for a while. As stupid as this may sound, I really felt the name would only help with my transition to Baruch and as it turns out, I was right.
I identify myself as a musician as music has been a part of my life for 14 years. Learning how to read music coincided with my learning how to read English so I can barely even call it a second language. With both the piano and the clarinet, music has provided me with an outlet, an escape, whatever you’d like to call it…It is an irreplaceable piece of my life and I couldn’t imagine a world without it. Recently, I even tattooed myself with my favorite piece as a way to show my appreciation for music.
I am also very family-oriented. All 36 of them mean the world to me. Even the family members that I don’t see for a while are so important to me and the thought of losing any single one of them terrifies me to death.
My personal motto: “Never regret something that once made you smile.”
