Kathleen's Story
Life
After high school I went to Penn State University to pursue a degree in Early Childhood Education. I spent 2 years at the PSU-WB campus and while there I met some great people who I am still close friends with today. I then went onto PSU-University Park where I spent 3 awesome years in Beaver Hall. I met some more great friends, had some fun roomates and floormates and became a sister in the sorority Gamma Sigma Sigma. Before graduating in 1993, I spent a semester abroad in England where I did my student teaching in a town called Worthing, which is south of London. During my four months in England I met some great people and enjoyed every minute of classroom time that I had with my first year (5 year-old) students. I also did a lot of traveling around the U.K. on weekends and upon completing my student teaching assignment, I then spent a few weeks backpacking around Europe.

e and worked for the Ocean City Recreation and Parks Department in their Camp Horizon Summer Camp and Pre-School programs. I also worked at the Greene Turtle. These were some of the best years of my life!
23 years ago, I moved to Florida to change careers. (and to get away from the cold weather!) I decided to go back to school and pursue a career in Computer Animation/Graphic Design. I attended the Art Institute where I pursued a bachelors degree in Media Arts and Computer Animation. I did an internship for Renaissance Cruise Lines in their Graphic Design Department and got a job at WSVN Channel 7 in Miami. I worked there in the Web Center as a Cyberjournalist/Writer for several years and then freelanced as a Graphic Designer. I have also been back to the UK and Europe several times to see friends and new places! I love to travel.
I am currently working at a television/communications company in West Palm Beach and really enjoy it. I still freelance in graphic design on the side and have my own jewelry business, Kat Jewelry Designs. What can I say...life is good!
