Kathleen set a certain precedent for herself by setting her hands aflame and receiving 4th degree burns just shy of her first birthday. And though the scars resemble something close to that of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, she found a much different path.

From this day forward her life became a series of "doing” until proven otherwise-- Try it and if it doesn’t work oh well. If it works out…cool.

This way of living led her into music, writing, running, existential-dreading, skiing, history buffing, film watching, teaching, over-thinking, mountain biking, coffee-making, social media-lurking, therapist-friending, and ultimately movement and choreography.

Other notable facts include the following:
