Sister Kate graduated from the University of Wisconsin with
a degree in Business Education and then spent the first decade of her career
working in project management in the credit card industry and the newly
de-regulated telecom industry. At the
age of thirty-three, she began her own consulting firm and embarked on a journey that took her, as an analyst, into a
specialization in newly de-regulating industries. Her consulting assignments took her as far
away as Canada, England, the Netherlands and beyond, as Sister Kate helped
clients open their businesses in those countries as well as in Germany, Sweden,
and Denmark.
Sister Kate came to California after surviving a financially
devastating divorce, and as a single mother of three children found it
impractical to continue her chosen career, as the amount of travel would have
meant the children raised themselves.
Instead, she looked to California’s newest and most interesting
de-regulating market: the cannabis
industry.
Sister Kate founded a non-profit cannabis collective in the
Fall of 2009 and opened for business in 2010 (Caregrowers). After three years of serving local terminal
patients, after developing teas and tinctures for the express reason of
avoiding having the sick and dying risk torching themselves with fire and
pipes, she decided to close that business and focused on developing a non-smokable
product line that would reach more people.
During the Harvest Moon of 2014, she developed her first line of
products for the Sisters of the Valley.
The Accidental Nun is the first book of many as the Sisters
seek to demystify our journeys for the young ones coming, those who must take
up the banner for a better planet, and for better ways of people living in
harmony with each other and the planet.
