Katherine (Kate) Scott
Kate recently completed a degree in Interdisciplinary Health Sciences at
the University of Ottawa and is working as an assistant at the
government offices of Statistics Canada. The 22-year-old plans to
continue with her studies by specialising in alternative/complementary
medicine and obtain a doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine. Eventually she
would like to open a private practice offering an interdisciplinary
approach to achieving and maintaining health. Through her work as a
dance teacher she supports many charitable organizations, and hopes that
her work in the community will teach her dancers how important it is to
give something back. She has been Irish dancing for fourteen years and
playing the harp since the age of seven. Kate has won awards for
dancing, harp and voice, and was awarded the title best young composer
for a piece she wrote commemorating the events of 11th September 2001.
She can trace her Irish heritage back to her great great grandmother who
was from Corkstown in Co Tyrone.
Since participating in Tralee this August, Kate has been accepted to Medical School and is thrilled to be one step closer to her goal of opening a private practice.
