BRIEF PROFILE: Kate - Catch 22 tutor

KATE, a freelance journalist and tutor at Catch 22 academy, started of her career when she was just 19, writing hair themed horoscopes for Hair magazine and doing the unbearable - ''lots of washing up''.

Her career plan was to be anything but a journalist, being eager to avoid her mothers path to becoming a writer, her career soon took off as her unpaid commitment to Hair magazine saw an opportunity to work along side another editor within the same region. Her claim to fame came when she appeared on Ready Steady Cook only to come second. When asked about meeting Ainsley Harriott she answered - ''sweaty...very sweaty!''

Kate has been involved with a number of publications - The Telegraph, Times, Independent, heat and many more. Her passion for teaching at Catch 22 came from her own experience and struggles in getting into the journalism world, she mentioned her mentor Katie who helped her to develop the necessary skills she knows today and enabled her to get her foot into the industry.

Currently, Kate is involved with script writing and seeks to get involved in book writing in the near future.
