Katherine is an Aussie expat originally from Sydney, now living in San Francisco. In some ways, she considers herself a career expat, often deciding to move overseas (and interstate) because of job prospects. Katherine says that she likes the challenge of living somewhere new which is a little bit like solving a rubix cube – “ It’s tricky, you’ll make a few mistakes along the way, but eventually you’ll get there.”
