Kati Taylor
Donation coordinator
Kati wrote for many of her college newspapers and created a whole mess of zines in the 90s. She considers Kinko’s at 2am, powered by 7-11 coffee, clove cigarettes, and all the free office supplies in the world a little slice of heaven.
Kati left home at 15, joined the military at 19 and managed to travel extensively (but never while in the Navy). As a child, she dreamed of being a foreign correspondent. Kati has recently begun seeking her first publication credits. In the meantime, you can find her words and photos of her words at katiwords.wordpress.com
