Kate is happy to be returning to the HOCR® Umpire Leadership Team for her third year. Kate learned to row in the summer of 2003 in NJ.  Not long after, she fell in love with Boston while rowing on the Charles River for the first time.  She competed at the Division I level and became a licensed referee in 2014.  Upon moving to Boston in 2016, she now calls the Charles her home course.  You can find her frequently near the Charles rowing or officiating.
