All About Me :)

My name is Katharine Kilgore (Katie for short) and I am twenty years old. I’ve lived in Bethel, CT for most of my life and graduated Bethel High School in 2008. I live with my parents and two younger brothers. The older of the two is in high school and the younger one is in middle school. I also have a golden retriever.

Although I love living in New England, I could certainly live without winter. I enjoy the first couple of snowfalls, but after that I can’t wait for warm weather. During warmer months I spend a lot of time outdoors at the beach or on boats with friends. I really like autumn too because there’s nothing like fall foliage in Connecticut.  I like fall too because that’s when football season starts!

Ever since I was a little girl football has been a huge part of my life. The New York Giants are my favorite NFL team and I’d have to say I am a very avid fan. I own so many jerseys, clothes, books, and DVD’s. Once football season ends in January, Sundays hardly have the same meaning to me! I like baseball a lot too, but football is definitely my favorite sport!

Traveling is a big hobby of mine. I love to travel and explore new places. Experiencing unknown cultures is something that fascinates me. I’ve been all over the U.S., Caribbean, and Europe, but one day I really want to vacation to Australia and Thailand. Places that are tropical and warm are my favorite destinations to travel to. I also like Europe because of the ancient history it has to offer. There is so much to learn in Europe and it is truly an unforgettable experience. Another hobby of mine (like most females) is shopping. I love shopping- whether it be clothes, furniture, electronics, etc.

I am going to WCSU to major in accounting/finance. I currently work in a tax accounting office in Norwalk, CT.  Since I began working there, I have acquired a ton of tax knowledge that will certainly assist me in the future. I was not always fond of numbers or anything pertaining to math for that matter, but since I began working at the accounting firm I have found that this area really interests me. My ideal job would consist of reporting/writing about accounting and finance matters. I would love to write for CNN or The Wall Street Journal.
