Originally from Lincolnshire in the United Kingdom, Deborah studied Animation at Staffordshire University and did her Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) at Cambridge University. She has also lived in Washington D.C. and Naples, Italy before landing in the Cayman Islands in 2012, where she taught art at a public high school in Grand Cayman.
Deborah and her husband have a big, crazy dog called Stanley, and, in the summer of 2017, welcomed a baby girl. She is also 1/3 owner of a modern ceramic collective called 3 Girls and a Kiln (3GK) creating beautifully customized ceramic pieces for individuals, hotels, restaurants, and galleries.

Spending the first three decades of her life in Michigan and then Chicago, Kate took a leap of faith to trade in her winter boots for flip-flops and became an island dweller in 2011. She currently lives on Grand Cayman with her husband, two young daughters, and 90lb Goldendoodle named Jackson.
In addition to writing her first children’s book, Kate founded the wellness company KURE where she combines her expertise as a certified life coach, yoga instructor, Ayurveda advocate, and former women’s health/obstetrics nurse educator. Her goal is to help women live “whole life” healthy.
