Kate had her first taste of home performance when her undergraduate team at Middlebury College participated in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Solar Decathlon competition in 2011. She went on to work in solar finance with Mosaic in the Bay Area, then pursued her master’s degree in education with a focus on health and wellness. For the last handful of years, Kate has been teaching children and leading professional development training for teachers. She worked with her school district to secure grant funding for solar panels on the school roofs -- both to supply electricity and serve as a real-life tool for STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education. She is thrilled to be part of the Customer Success team at Pearl, where she gets to help contractors maximize the value of Pearl certifications. When off work, Kate enjoys exploring outdoors along the North Oregon Coast with her pup, Crouton.
