.203 Kate Dobie

Kate is an absolute powerhouse of organization, focus, and patience. When I first encountered her expertise while working together at The Met, I knew I was going to learn a lot from her. She has the incredible skill of staying calm under pressure while simultaneously figuring out solution after solution. What’s more is that she’s kind and takes the time to be compassionate.

Over the course of my time at the museum, Kate was always willing and able to answer my (numerous) questions, lend me those iPads, and take the time to explain something if I was confused. If I was working an evening event, the odds were that she was, too. Always on top of the smallest details, Kate sets the bar for how to make things look seamless and easy (when they are, in fact, not easy). She’s a hoot to be around, too, and has such fun personality and sense of humor.

Kate, thank you for being so fun to work with and for always making me laugh. Thank you for somehow managing to handle your work load and still make the time for a quick chat in the hallway, your office, or even now on a weekend phone call. Thank you for being a true rockstar and for doing all that you do with grace and kindness. Thank you, Kate, for being all that you are.
