Kate joined the WCCO team as a reporter in 2013, but it wasn’t her first time in the newsroom. An Excelsior native, she interned at the station during her senior year at the University of Minnesota, and is proud to be telling stories in her home state. Kate has been awarded Upper-Midwest Emmy Awards for her reporting and breaking news coverage. During her time at WCCO, she has covered historic snowstorms, contributed to the “Best Of Minnesota” series, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. She was also a fill-in guest radio host for iHeart Radio on KDWB. As a wife and working mom, she is passionate about telling stories that impact families.
Kate enjoys participating in charity fundraisers and was a musician before pursuing journalism. She has performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City, the Pantages Theatre, and numerous professional league sporting events. These days her singing is mostly at Church and for weddings.
Kate lives in the Twin Cities with her family. She and her husband love biking, running, and all Minnesota sports!
She’s always looking for story ideas. You can contact her here.
