Operations

Background

Hihi Kat here :) I was born and raised in California before moving to Shanghai for 8 years. I went to Duke University where I studied Statistical Science and Chemistry and worked at 2 early stage startups. For the past ~2 years, I’ve been at Bain Atlanta, but I always knew I wanted to return to the healthcare space. I am beyond excited to be at Fay and helping people find the care and support they need!

In my free time, I’m either taking my friends to workout classes (most come with me willingly), organizing group dinners to try new restaurants, or going on long walks on the BeltLine to cafes / thrift stores / Trader Joe’s. I also have been designated as a personal shopper for some of my friends, so if you are ever in need of new clothes, I can be your go-to 🤠

My favorite meals

• 🥟 Dim Sum: My go-to brunch choice where I get to order way too much and try a bit of everything. As someone with a HUGE sweet tooth, it means a lot when I say that 菠蘿奶黃包 (egg custard pineapple bun) is my favorite dessert.
• 🥘 Stir fry: I will eat (almost) anything if it is stir fried. I’ve been told I’m the least-picky picky eater, aka I won’t eat certain food, but I will eat everything else in just about any form (preferably, stir fried).
• 🍜Thai food: Pad thai and mango sticky rice. Need I say more.

What I’ve been learning and reading about lately

• Science-based tools for health & wellness: I love to put on podcasts when I walk to learn about anything from maximizing exercise benefits to improving sleep habits!
• Cooking: My current goal is to try at least 2 new recipes a week and force myself to not make the same meal everyday until I’m sick of it.

Get to know me a little better

A rooftop spin & workout event I helped plan when I worked for a spin studio! Not pictured: all of us freezing because it was winter in Shanghai.

Saw the total eclipse this year in Dallas - such a surreal experience 🌑

Can you guess which one I made?

My family and dog still live in Shanghai, so I try to make the long trip out there as much as I can!
