About Kate
My name is Kate Kelly.
I was born in Tucson, AZ and was promptly transplanted from desert soil to the more temperate climate of Hood River, Oregon. I grew up in this small town on the banks of the Colombia River and at the foot of Mt. Hood.
Since leaving Oregon I have lived in Washington DC, London, Hawaii, Spain, Thailand, Mexico, Provo, Salt Lake City, San Diego, New York City, Costa Rica & now back to DC.
I am 32 years old, and a graduate of Brigham Young University and have JD from American University Washington College of Law, the only law school in the nation world founded by women. I have had a career of various and sundry amazing jobs, and am currently doing a fellowship at the Women’s Refugee Commission.
I plan on using my legal education to change myself and the world.
Like Neil, I’m a constant schemer, and I look forward to many adventures, many of which you can read about on this website.

Hi Kate,

Best,
Troy Williams
Hi Kate, while perusing google in search of an example acceptance letter, I some how came across your web site. Just wanted to ask; what prompts a person to do such a thing? Without sounding rude or judgemental, is it ego? You are adorable so maybe that is it. just thought I’d throw it out there & see if I ever get a response. All the best to you & the charity work you have completed. Really terrific. S
Hahhahaha. What prompts us to have a website? Great question. I think mostly its procrastination… j/k. We like it because it serves as a journal of events/pics/thoughts etc. Also, helps keep in contact with friends & family.
… and apparently random Google searchers!
I hope to one day visit the places that you’ve lived. I’m 26 with a 2 and 4 year old. I’m currently in college but after I’m done, we’re off to adventure.
Rochelle!
Viva la vida!
Kate-
I found your site from John Dehlin’s fb page, linking the talk, “Can One Woman Change the World.” I am contacting you because my husband went to WCL at AU. If you need any advice, a summer internship, etc. please feel free to contact me at the provided email address.
Best of luck to you and your blog is totally rad.

i found your site looking up pictures and saw that you look just like me. are you my twin? jk
I have hopes that my girls grow with journeys such as you have!
Hi Kate,
I found your blog in increasingly desperate Google searches involving adult tonsillectomies. (I enjoyed reading a good deal on here besides your helpful and hilarious recounting on surgery.) When you have a moment, could you let me know if you ever had any post-tonsillectomy respiratory problems? My recurrent tonsillitis came out of nowhere since moving abroad (read my tale of woe here:http://tinyurl.com/9vju3gt) and I am set to see a specialist soon. I have heard some people may be more susceptible to chest infections and I do have some history of bronchitis so if you have any personal experience you could share, I’d be very grateful. My email will be in the comment form if that’s preferable. I have two little ones so being laid up for 10 days is pretty rough. Congrats on passing the bar, by the way.
