Kathleen is a native New Yorker and a graduate of NYU. Fresh out of college she headed west to Oregon where she wrote articles and sold ad space at Yoga Northwest Magazine. Two years, dozens of road trips and countless Down Dogs later she returned home to New York to hang out with her family and pursue a career in advertising. During her time at a boutique ad agency she did a great many things, among them edit video ethnographies and produce TV and radio spots for Match.com. After 3 + years in the industry, she decided something of a pilgrimage was in order. So she quit her job, gave away her furniture, and set out to explore Asia. During her months abroad she realized she wanted to combine her background in media with social responsibility. She then clicked her heels three times and found herself at Empax where she is often laughing, learning and asking her co-workers for surf tips.
