Experience

Kate Wight has been a full-time freelance writer and small business social media consultant since 2011. She has written content for a wide array of clients across several industries, but she has a particular fondness for writing about interior design, parenting, lifestyle, and social justice, as well as topics pertaining to science and medicine. When she was in her early thirties, Kate was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a chronic genetic condition that also affects her young daughter. As a result of her diagnosis, she discovered a passion for medical advocacy for patients living with chronic illnesses. Kate believes the process of planning for medical and financial contingencies is one that should constantly be revisited throughout every stage of life, and that transparency can help both patients and their families achieve emotional peace. She hopes to help remove the stigma around preparing for end-of-life decisions even at a relatively young age.
