Kate
Gaming Origins
Prior to streaming, Kate worked as a bartender for 3.5 years.
Professional Gaming
At the end of 2015, Kate decided to make a New Year’s resolution to ‘create more,’ and therefore set up a Twitch account. She streamed her first broadcast of Borderlands 2 on January 11, 2016. She attracted ten viewers during her first stream and slowly transitioned to fulltime streaming by decreasing her bartending hours and increasing her streaming hours based on balancing her earnings.
It was only in September 2016 that she started making more streaming than she would by working as a bartender for 40 hours a week that she completed the transition by quitting her regular job. It’s important to note that she started it out as a hobby. Furthermore, she was only partnered with Twitch on December 14, 2016.
Kate tries to keep her channel chilled, but her language isn’t always appropriate for children. She occasionally creates comedy skits with the LoadingReadyRun crew.
Relationships
Kate's older brother is LoadingReadyRun's founder, Graham_LRR. She also has a niece and a cat.
Income
Kate is estimated to have ~3,000 subscribers, which should generate her a monthly income of at least $7,500 USD per month, excluding additional revenue from sources such as Patreon, PayPal & ko-fi tips, Twitch cheer bit contributions, merchandise sales, tiered subscriptions, sponsorships and advertisements.

Quotes
-
There's no need to pour all your money into super fancy equipment. A PC to run your stream, decent lights, a webcam and a headset mic will be enough to run a quality stream. As you start earning more, you can slowly upgrade your gear.
