Introduction
Hi, I'm Katherine, but better known as Kate. I'm currently working on getting my undergraduate Bachelor of Science degree with a majour in Biological Science. I decided to take CIS 2050 because it sounded interesting and I thought it would be cool to explore the connections between computers and society.

Personal Life
I was born and raised in Owen Sound, Ontario and as our town slogan says, it is "where you want to live". I love spending time with my family and friends and doing any kind of outdoor activity. I've ridden horses since the age of 4 and 11 years ago I was able to buy my own horse. This experience is definitly a highlight in my life and I am fortunite enough to still have him with me today.

Education and Academic Career
I attended WHSS in Owen Sound for my highschool career, where I was actively involved in a co-op placement at a veterinary hospital before coming to Guelph. I decided to attend the University of Guelph because of its flexability in terms of what courses you wanted to take as well as for its famous veterinary practice. One day I hope to be pursuing a career in Veterinary medicine, specializing in horses. On a slightly less academic note, I have met many people through programs and different courses that I have become very close with. Services such as the CSD have really helped me reach my full academic potential.

Hobbies
I love to do the following:
 * play guitar
 * ride my horse
 * bake
 * play any outdoor sport
 * rockclimb

For the summer I have really loaded my schedule by doing the following:
 * 1) Working two jobs
 * 2) Taking two distance education courses
 * 3) Volunteering with a large animal vet
