About Kate
I’m originally from the Chicago area in Illinois and graduated from Western Illinois University with a degree in Spanish and a minor in Scuba diving. I earned my Open Water certification in 2013 and my passion for diving has grown ever since. Once I graduated college I started working at DJ’s Scuba Locker Inc. where my career took off and I was able to explore areas of diving that initially I didn’t know were a possibility. I am excited to be here and hoping to grow my passion for diving. When I’m not diving, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.
