Kate’s Interests

Kate loves to keep fit, regularly enjoying CrossFit and its community aspects.

She also enjoys travelling and tries to travel as much as possible, having visited places such as Bali, Vietnam, Italy, Portugal, France, and Iceland. Kate previously lived in France for 5 years, spending the winters managing a nightclub in a French ski resort, and she loves to ski and snowboard.

She regularly spends time with a brilliant group of friends and is very close to her family. Kate adores her five-year-old apricot Cockapoo named Lola. Lola is her constant companion, accompanying her everywhere, and over the years, Kate has trained her to be the best pub dog!

Cooking is another activity she enjoys, using it as a form of therapy by mellowing out with music and cooking up a storm.
