Born and raised in the beach town of Gulf Stream, Florida, Kate developed a passion for the yachting industry at an early age. She spent her childhood exploring the turquoise waters of Lyford Cay in The Bahamas and racing sailboats across New England and the Mid-West with her family.
After studying Art and Design with a minor in French at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in New York, Kate returned home to sunny South Florida. She honed her skills working with top interior designers in Palm Beach, mastering the art of project management and developing a sharp eye for detail. These qualities have greatly contributed to her success in the yachting industry.
Since joining IYC in 2021, Kate’s love for travel has taken her to many of the world’s most popular charter destinations. She has also attended many of the international boat shows over the past four years, deepening her understanding of the global yachting market. Her firsthand knowledge of these destinations enables her to provide valuable insights and personalized recommendations.
In her free time, Kate can often be found at the helm of a sailboat, riding her horse, hitting backhands on the tennis court, or enjoying time with her English black Labrador named Gus.
