Kate has been involved in team sports for as long as she can remember. Growing up in Cincinnati, she played soccer, softball, and competitive basketball and volleyball during her younger years and stuck with volleyball once she got to high school. After playing year-round volleyball in high school, she moved to St. Louis, MO where she played club volleyball at St. Louis University and pursued her dream for nursing. After graduating with her Bachelor’s of Nursing, she moved back home to Cincinnati and began to study for the NCLEX, the nursing boards. During study breaks, she searched for a new gym in Cincy, which led her to TITLE Boxing Club Downtown Cincinnati. She was instantly hooked after taking her first class and always looked forward to the best hour of the day at TITLE. She fell in love with the club, the workout, the trainers, the members, and the incredible feeling of empowerment that accompanied every boxing class. TITLE helped her increase her strength both physically and mentally, and continues to do so every day she in the club.

Kate’s dream has always been to become a Registered Nurse and care for others, and her passion has always been to better her mind and body through fitness.  She is blessed to be able to live out her dream and passion today by caring for others as a Registered Nurse at The Christ Hospital as well as a Title Boxing Coach and ACE Certified Personal Trainer.  She loves to see the impact TITLE can have on someone’s mental and physical health and loves being a part of their process of bettering themselves inside and out.  She always says, “I have no idea what kind of nurse I would be without boxing in my life,” and that statement could not be more true.  Through the COVID pandemic, taking care of patients as a COVID RN, TITLE kept her smiling and ready to fight through each challenge and hopeful for a future back in the club with the best TITLE Family.  Boxing has changed her life and knows it can change yours too!
