Kate's Bio

I’m a freelance religion reporter and blogger for the Little Things. I majored in religion and journalism as an undergrad, and I'm now completing my master's in journalism at Medill.

A religious wanderer, I’ve found studying spirituality in modernity to be a great way to understand society on a deeper level. When I’m not contemplating the meaning of it all, I watch “The Office” and cooking shows on TV, experiment with baking and write letters to my close friends who’re now scattered all over the world.
