Kate Stephens

At age 20, Kate Stephens graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor of arts in business administration from Northwest University, earning membership in Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities & Colleges and receiving special recognition for the highest GPA in her entire class. By only attending college for two years, she saved nearly $60,000 and left school debt-free. With her undergraduate degree in hand, she spent the next few years serving as the event director at a local chamber of commerce, working as a behavioral therapist for children with autism, and pursuing graduate level studies at University of Washington. Kate currently resides with her husband Jeff near Seattle, where she runs a home-based tutoring business and advocates for research and awareness for her connective tissue disorder, Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (EDS).
