It was a joy to work with Kate! Her dedication to finding top tier talent for our hiring managers was exceptional!! With each search she strived to provide an excellent experience for our candidates and colleagues and would work tirelessly until she found the perfect match. She was a solid example of treating others with kindness and would brighten up any room, Zoom meeting, or conference call!

Kate and I worked together as Recruiting peers and partners on many projects, and I was lucky to call her my coworker. She consistently gave 100% effort to the team and played a significant role in ensuring that we were elevating the candidate experience and overall hiring process here at Stitch Fix. With Kate's operational background, not only did she teach me many ins and outs of the business but she helped me navigate through the company's internal processes. I learned a lot from Kate- She’s always willing to lend a hand to anyone who needs it. Watching her adapt to the company's ever-changing business landscape was an inspiration! Her ability to overcome challenges with a smile made her stand out as a cut above the rest.
