Kat has worked in kitchens on and off since she was 20 and brings a lifelong passion for cooking and baking to her role at Cedars. She also owns her own pie-baking business, where she enjoys creating homemade treats from scratch and sharing her love of food with others.

For Kat, food is about more than simply providing a meal - it is a way to bring people joy, comfort, and connection. This is what drew her to Cedars and inspired her to become part of the community and its beautiful work of service. She feels that her homemade, from-scratch approach to cooking and baking fits naturally with the Cedars philosophy of helping people feel nourished in body, mind, and spirit.

Kat is grateful for the opportunity to contribute through something she loves and to be part of an environment where food can help fill the soul as well as the stomach.
