Experience

Kat has been writing professionally since 2018 and has written for several Static Media sites. She is the former editor-in-chief of HorrOrigins and has written for sites like All That's Interesting, Bitter Feminist Drinks, and MatchaKo. She has two full-length poetry collections published under the pseudonym Terra Vagus, and has been published in several poetry anthologies. Kat's love of food is fueled by her love of travel, finding new flavors with every destination she visits. She loves experimenting with flavors, particularly involving coffee. She's a member of what might be considered too many Trader Joe's groups online and frequents the store as if it were her second home. Kat's background in history, combined with her love of food exploration, puts her right at home with The Takeout.
