As a half-marathoner, knitter, Zumba instructor, and college professor, Kate keeps her schedule full but believes in living simply and sustainably. She encourages her students to get involved in the local community of Monterey, Calif., just miles from the Salinas Valley or “The Salad Bowl of the World.” She spends her free time visiting local cafes and farmers markets or staying home with her loud-mouthed cat Kira.
