She Turns Ancient History Into Comedy Gold: Meet Chicago's Kate

Kate found Eligible In through Meet IRL events, which tracks because she's actively choosing real-life connections over dating apps. And after seeing one too many wedding bands casually displayed in profile photos, honestly, who could blame her for rage-deleting? 

This Dallas native turned Seattle transplant turned Chicagoan works for a non-profit by day and absolutely kills it doing improv comedy by night. She also hosts blind PowerPoint presentation events— you'll have to listen to the interview for the full breakdown, but trust us, it's brilliantly unhinged.

Kate's got a Masters in museum and artifact studies (sparked by her fascination with World Fairs, because of course), which basically makes her the dream Field Museum date. She can tell you about ancient pottery AND make you laugh while doing it. That's relationship material right there.

When it comes to her type, Kate once described her ideal guy as someone who might have a standing DND night with his friends. Translation: she wants a man with his own life, his own crew, and his own nerdy pursuits. Someone who values creativity and understands that healthy relationships involve two complete people, not two halves desperately clinging to each other.

Oh, and Kate loves to bake but would really appreciate a partner who can actually cook, so they can tag-team the kitchen instead of both jousting for oven bake temps. Strategic culinary partnership goals.
