I had the pleasure of working with Kate Burrows on two complex research projects that required deep expertise across vastly different sectors—religious studies and government finance. What impressed me most about Kate was her remarkable ability to quickly grasp the nuances of entirely different subject matters and deliver exceptional work that exceeded my expectations.

For our first project, Kate created a comprehensive white paper analyzing the state of religious attendance and key issues facing faith communities across the United States. This research was critical for a major U.S. Cathedral's long-term strategic planning process. Not only did Kate deliver the paper on time, but she provided significantly more depth and detail than I had originally requested. Her analysis went well beyond basic attendance metrics to explore underlying societal trends, demographic shifts, and emerging challenges that proved invaluable for the trustees and leadership team.

On a separate project, Kate tackled the complex world of government finance, producing a detailed white paper that demonstrated her versatility as a researcher and writer. Despite the technical nature of the subject matter, she quickly mastered the intricacies of municipal finance structures and regulatory frameworks.

What sets Kate apart is her ability to tailor her writing for distinctly different audiences. The religious attendance paper was crafted perfectly for Cathedral board members—accessible yet thorough, with insights that resonated with faith community leaders. Meanwhile, her government finance work demonstrated her skill in presenting complex financial concepts in a way that would be appropriate for investors and financial professionals.

Kate's professionalism throughout both projects was exemplary. She met every deadline, communicated clearly about project scope and timelines, and consistently delivered work that required minimal revisions. Her research methodology is thorough, her writing is clear and compelling, and her ability to synthesize complex information into actionable insights is truly outstanding.

Kate is a great all-around athlete and I would recommend her without hesitation for any research or writing project, regardless of the industry or subject matter. Her intellectual curiosity, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence make her an invaluable partner for any organization seeking high-quality analysis and strategic insights

I brought on Kate to work with my teenage daughter Chloe on her first research paper, and she performed exceptionally in that role.  Kate came in with a clear plan on how to structure the work, was very organized, patient and asked the right questions to get Chloe to consider her viewpoints.  She let Chloe do the research, analysis and writing while providing the right guardrails and oversight so that my daughter knew she was on the right track.  She was highly responsive and communicative when questions came up, and she was very efficient with her time and the calls they had together.  I would recommend Kate without reservations and would hire her again in a heartbeat.  10/10
