My name is Kate Levinson and I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. Since 2020 I have lived in Breckenridge, CO, Englewood FL, and attended a boarding school outside of Santa Barbara, CA. I currently attend Agnes Scott College in Decatur, GA and maintain a 3.9 GPA in my fields of History and Spanish while working 20+ hours a week as a nanny and serving as the vice president of Students Demand Action Against Gun Violence. During my time at the Midland school, I pursued many interests such as ceramics, hiking, backpacking, basketball, and gardening. Most importantly, I also discovered my passion for history, politics, and leadership. I served on Midland’s student council for two years, was Steward Certified to lead underclassmen on backpacking trips, led Midland’s LGBTQ+ affinity group, and acted as a sophomore prefect and mentor. In 2022, I was awarded the Rich-Dreyfuss Book Award for academic achievement and contribution to the general life of excellence at Midland as well as the Cosby Scholarship which allowed me to study Critical Race Theory and the Law at Colorado College over the summer. Most recently, I received the award “Excellence in the Social Sciences” for my extensive written and presented work on the potential social harms of voluntourism, foundations of critical race theory, issues with the electoral college, and the racial implications of America’s death penalty. I hope to pursue a career in historical academia and continue to get outside and enjoy nature!
