About Kat
I was born naturally gifted in the area of verbal intelligence. Having missed only 2 questions on the verbal SAT's I was able to enter college at age 16. I took coursework in every area of the humanities.
I additionally invested myself in the first two years of an elementary education program up to a 30 hour internship with Portland Public Schools. This was carried out at the Community Transitional School for houseless students.
My writings have appeared in various periodicals over the years - from poetry to book and product reviews. An essay in "Pagan Consent Culture" (Asphodel 2015) on an assigned topic has been taught at the college level.
As an actor I appeared as "Tina" on the original cast recording of "Bite Me a Little: a Vampire Musical" and in the Fertile Grounds Festival. I performed as "the Voice" in Antero Alli's "A Turbulence of Muses." I have written and directed two full length musicals at the community theatre level.
I have additional coursework in Women's Studies. I worked producing synopsis entries for a special collection of such literature featuring memoir and racial justice topics. I produced two training materials for use in skill-share environments. I am familiar with all areas of activism and social justice; and have served in a leadership capacity in non-profits since the age of thirteen - starting as a peer counselor.
I have served two short-term overseas missions.
Writing samples are available. Contact for links or find me on Medium as Harkey the Sender.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Kat for over 10 years. I really appreciate her ability to meet people right where they are at and take steps together that you really want to take. Her command of the English language comes both from lots of real life experience in a whole variety of places and intellectual study so she can definitely help you achieve improvements in both informal and more formal speech.
I worked with Kat for over a year on a different topic, and you would be hard-pressed to find a more dedicated teacher. She is intelligent, knowledgeable, and articulate, and had written several sophisticated articles on Medium and elsewhere. She has powerful English skills and I'm sure she'll do a good job passing them on.
Kat is a very well read individual, who has studied many topics. I guarantee that you will always be able to find something to discuss and she will help you to feel more confident in any type of discussion you may come across in your life.
I highly recommend Katina as a knowledgeable and skilled instructor. While I was in college, she helped me turn my barely passing grades into qualifying for honor roll. She knew where I was at and took the time to help me understand what I was stumbling with so I could learn and excel.
Katina's style and example of working with people has also helped me shape my communication with other people. I have more successful outcomes in life and work because of what she has taught me about how to approach my challenges.
I have worked with Kat on projects literary and otherwise for quite some time and can say that she is every well versed in writing and public speaking among other subjects. She said s we'll qualified to coach you in just about anything within her skill set.
