Kathryn’s cancer journey started in August 2019 with a tremendous pain in her abdomen. An ER visit, CT scan and a needle biopsy later resulted in a diagnosis of Stage 3B ovarian cancer. Now in remission, Kathryn works tirelessly in the oncology space to advocate on behalf of cancer patients everywhere.

Currently, Kathryn serves as the Artistic Director of Lower Shore Performing Arts Company providing live performing arts events, arts alive education programs for adults and children in public speaking, art forms, writing and techniques for actors. As an actress she has performed diverse roles in hundreds of shows from Truvy in Steel Magnolias to a suspect in The Thin Man murder mystery to Lovey Howell in Gilligan’s Island the musical. Possessing a BA in Art History from James Madison University and a Masters in Education at Salisbury University, her corporate experience is in Human Resources in various industries. Kathryn is currently a multi-disciplinary artist and owns Hope Feathers Studio, inspired by her journey.
