Born an Air Force “brat” in London, England, Katherine (known as Kat) found their home in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 2013 via Las Vegas, NV. A career in cannabis was unplanned, initially beginning as a Field Technician. However, after reading an article about Steep Hill Arkansas, now Acre Labs, she was drawn to the scientific aspect of cannabis testing. Seeing “Tested by: Steep Hill” on products and ensuring patient safety became a source of pride, and working with lab technicians revealed the complexities of cannabis chemistry. She is known as “the testing lady” and carries that moniker with pride. Kat’s interests outside of work include art galleries and metal shows. She aspires to see Arkansas become a powerhouse for clean cannabis, reducing stigma and prioritizing patient safety. Little Rock is a “safe haven,” valued for its balance of city life and access to natural scenery. The best part of working in the cannabis industry was meeting her soon-to-be life partner, Perry!
