Kat stands (probably on a stool) by the fact that 5” is an average height. As captain of the debate team, she loves being confidently incorrect and talking too fast. When she’s not complaining about the hard classes everyone told her not to take, she can be found starting a new craft project or watching Criminal Minds. Kat loves her dog Apollo, giggling with her BFFs, and drinking too much tea.
