Kate Rafey is a Jill-of-all-trades, master of none. She was born and raised in Massachusetts, the greatest state in the Union. While serving two years as an Americorps*VISTA for the Massachusetts Campus Compact, Kate became attuned to life's many social injustices, which brought her into feminism. Judaism has always been a large part of her life, though sometimes taking a backseat to her other passions including theatre, larping, and traveling. However, as of late, Kate's Jewish and feminist identities have begun to collide in her role as the Assistant Director for Programming at the UMass Amherst Hillel House.
