Kate, the founder and owner of Mere, is a fourth generation Floridian fueled by the thriving entrepreneurship community in Jacksonville. To feed her passion for helping others, upon graduating with her bachelor’s degree from Brigham Young University in Utah, Kate immediately served a 19-month mission for her church, where she learned how to speak Spanish. Kate received her license to sell insurance in 2007 and has lived and worked throughout Northeast Florida since 2008.

After being in the corporate insurance environment for over 8 years and managing a non-profit for 2 years, Kate decided to pursue one of her dreams... to build and operate her own insurance company. As a wife and mother to two energetic children under the age of 7, and a MOPS Chapter Leader, Kate knows what it is like to be a busy business owner.
