Meet Kathryn...
Career aspirations: After graduation, I plan to attend Law School, where it is hoped that I might then work in the fields of law and/or investment banking. Ultimately, I would like to apply my entrepreneurial desire towards running businesses like my father.
Three words to describe yourself: Honest, hardworking and respectful.
Your strengths: Articulate focus, friendly, helpful, loyal and giving, all of which I try to apply to my golf game and life outside of golf.
You are working to improve what in your sport: I am working on my long game; distance specifically. As I am in the recovery process from a shoulder surgery, I am working towards regaining and exceeding my prior performance related to distance in my shots.
Favorite home cooked meal (and who makes it): My mom makes the best taco salads!

What most people don't know about you: My late grandfather owned a Christmas tree farm in Michigan.

If you could travel anywhere in the world: Home. I would also love to travel to the concentration camps my grandmother and other family members were imprisoned in by visiting Austria, Poland and Germany.

If you could have dinner with anyone dead or alive: I would have dinner with past President, Ronald Reagan.
If you could have any superpower: I would ensure that what people make and acquire from hard work and sacrifice would be kept by them as opposed to being forced to contribute to a scheme that promotes dependence on the state through redistribution, excepting only those that cannot otherwise care for themselves, which would once again reveal the essence of the American Dream.
The zoo animal that best encapsulates your personality: A penguin, which is both friendly and reserved, yet has great tenacity.
