Kate is a caring, compassionate teen who also happens to have a wicked sense of humor. She’ll lure you in with her charming smile and then have you rolling with a joke you didn’t even see coming.

She is incredibly sensitive to those around her, and cares for her people deeply. Hugs are her love language. She is not a fan of spiders.

Kate loves movies, movies and more movies. She is obsessed with the Grinch and is known for her “31 Days of Grinchmas,” where she wears a different Grinchy item of clothing every day in December. Sometimes not growing much has its perks!

Kate has Noonan Syndrome, and has undergone open heart surgery, had a g-tube for years, has developmental delays and was recently diagnosed with a lymphatic anomaly. Despite these challenges, Kate faces each day with a smile and her own unique sass factor.
