Hi. My name is Kate, and I write things. Often.
I started my career as a journalist, where I wrote about female cab drivers and sketchy colleges for Jane Magazine, bike polo players and Jewish tattoos for The New York Times, and South Korean animators and all-female local governments for The Atlantic.
I also spent a year on the road following three cheerleading squads for my narrative nonfiction book, CHEER!: Inside the Secret World of College Cheerleaders. And put in seven years at TED Talks, working with every kind of speaker you can imagine to help tell their story in video and print.
But writing for television is my passion. I served as a consulting producer on The CW’s Hellcats, a series based on my book, and quickly fell in love with creating characters and scripting stories based on real-life insights. Since then, I’ve been a writer on NCIS, the most popular drama in the world. And I continue to develop original shows that drop you inside wild, fascinating, unexplored female worlds.
