Kate Jacobs

Kate Jacobs grew up near Vancouver, British Columbia, in the scenic and delightfully named town of Hope (pop. 6,184). It's an area filled with friends and family and Kate loves to visit. Back then, of course, it was tremendously boring, as only home can be to a teenager. As a result, Kate begged her parents to send her to boarding school in Victoria, BC. From there she traded in her navy blazer to earn a Bachelor's degree in journalism at Carleton University in Ottawa. Next, in a fit of optimism/courage/naivete - take your pick - she followed it up with a move to bustling New York
