About Kate

My name is Kate and I am a Tampa girl, born and raised. My love for the ocean and outdoor activities has made it easy to call this place my home. Upon graduating from the University of Central Florida, I began my career in personal injury law as a paralegal for The Fran Haasch Law Group. I also work part-time at Orangetheory Fitness in Palm Harbor. I enjoy any activity that involves being on the water. I also love fitness, specifically running, and I’m always down for a Saturday morning 5k. This is my first time running for Tampa Bay Woman of the Year. When I was approached with this opportunity, I thought it would be a great chance to get more involved with our community and help those in need.
