A pastor's daughter raised in the backwoods of New York City (that is to say, Staten Island), Kathryn has always been obsessed with the question of how to be good. Now she makes her living asking for, and writing about, the answer. This means examining the practice of faith, the culture of work, and the human spirit in the digital age.
Kathryn’s writing aims to blend a working-class perspective with moral sensibility. Her favorite subjects are the concerns of ordinary people. She is working on a collection of essays that explores what community looks like in the contexts of work, faith, and neighborhoods. You can find published examples and more about this project here.
Kathryn is a graduate of the Writers Institute at Susquehanna University and has freelanced extensively for dozens of outlets. She publishes regularly in Allure, Oprah Daily, Christianity Today, Healthline, LitHub, and SELF. She lives with her husband and three young children in New York’s lower Hudson Valley.

Kathryn has also worked for over seven years as a copywriter in the lifestyle and wellness space. She has collaborated with Axis, Buzzfeed, Clearing, Conde Nast, CT Studio, Ironclad, and many more on a wide range of projects for print and web.
