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 graduating from High School in Oregon I have lived in Washington DC, London, Hawaii, Spain, Thailand, Mexico, Provo, Salt Lake City, San Diego, New York City & now back to DC. I served a mission from 2002-2004 in the Barcelona, Spain mission, one of my most treasured experiences. We are in DC to follow my legal dreams wherever they might take us.
I am 29 years old, and a graduate of Brigham Young University in Political Science. I am currently in law school at American University’s 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. I taught a Home Buyer education class and did Mortgage counseling at a non-profit in Provo, Utah (in 2006 right before the “meltdown). I volunteered in Chiapas, Mexico for Habitat for Humanity among other things. I worked as an Americorps volunteer at the English Skills Learning Center a non-profit organization in Salt Lake that teaches English to refugees & immigrants. I spent last summer in Manhattan working at the Center for Constitutional Rights, and organization with amazing integrity and courage.
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.
Viva la vida!

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!
