About Me
About Me — Kathryn Lee
A bookworm-turned-wanderer
I am a storyteller who spends more time in my head than not. I grew up loving books above all else, so getting lost in my imagination is my comfort zone.
A childhood spent reading about fictional places turned me into an adult who loves travel. Don’t get me wrong. I love living in Minnesota, but there comes a time (usually the majority of Winter) when I need to get away for a little bit.
Every time I get that urge, I grow more and more restless until I can take at least a few days off and go somewhere new. These somewhat spontaneous adventures have been some of my most memorable days.
When not traveling, I work at a large metropolitan hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota. I dispatch for security, which makes for some pretty memorable nights. From people watering plants with milk to climbing into ceilings, there are no dull nights.
As entertaining as it can be, dispatching is never a career path I had even considered. It so happened that the first work-study job I came across in college was for a Student Dispatch position. Before that time, my dream job had always been writing in some form or another.
I grew up in rural Wisconsin and spent my teenage years longing to move somewhere more exciting. Somewhere I could find something to write about.
Since then, I learned that a good writer can find something to write about no matter where they are. I am determined to do just that.
Since graduating college, I have been trying to find my place as a writer and have learned that it is not as simple as I thought it would be.
However, knowing that the best things come from perseverance and hard work, I am here to stay!
