Kate is a writer and jazz-hand enthusiast who is at her happiest when there's a strong latte at hand and a dog around to pat. If you are what you eat, Kate would be approximately 68% halloumi, 22% red wine and 10% maraschino cherries. Born and bred in the Yarra Valley in Melbourne, she's travelled around Australia pursuing various media work; as such she has acquired expressions such as 'you beaut', 'what a cracker of a day' and 'let's go to Bunnings for a snag in a swag' into her vocabulary. She's now happy to call Sydney home, where she writes those radio ads you probably hate.
