Kate, the middle child of two immigrant parents, comes from a long line of immigrants, refugees, and displaced people, and has always itched to put down roots. A born-and-raised Miamian, she wants to create a space for herself in this large, but connected community. While studying Biochemistry and Psychology at Florida International University, Kate has found that the world is much larger than Miami's unique microcosm of culture and art. At the very root of it all, she hopes to blend science and art, logic and sympathy, in a fast-paced globalized society.
