Hi, I'm Kate.

Hello! I’m Kate, an 18 year old SoCal-raised student and swimmer with a love of skin care and Pinterest. Those two loves aside, I am a fan of all books - from sci-fi (i.e. Harry Potter...fun fact: I’m a Ravenclaw) to realistic fiction (I love John Green, Jennifer Niven, Nicola Yoon, Jandy Nelson, Celeste Ng - the list goes on and on) to The Magnolia Journal magazine (I can’t get enough of Chip and JoJo). I dabble in writing, and, of course, I try to fit in an episode of The Office or Friends once (or twice) in a while.

I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was six, and have worn a brace ever since. I post articles every Saturday with the hopes of increasing awareness about scoliosis and creating a community that can act as an outlet for those who need a place to learn and chat about their scoliosis story. If you have any questions - about me, or scoliosis in general - feel free to contact me or leave any comments, and I will try my best to get back to you asap. I think that wraps up just about everything you need to know. Enjoy...and remember, we’re bent, not broken! :)
