Welcome to my website! My name’s Kate Gibson. I’m a 25-year-old Austin native, UC Berkeley Political Science grad, Teach for America 2018 Alumna (former kindergarten and first grade teacher!), and first-year law student at the University of Texas Law School. You can usually find me hiking or spending time in the sunshine, watching movies or reading articles, singing when no one’s listening (or everyone is), or at the airport hopping on a flight (when there’s not a global pandemic, of course). Stay healthy!

This page is a walk down memory lane, showing some of my performances across the years! Growing up, I took piano lessons for 11 years, and while it was never my true talent, I thank it for sparking my initial interest in music.

Thanks to this breakout role, I realized that I love to sing and kept it up throughout middle school, high school, and college – and I plan to sing as a hobby for the rest of my life!
