Cate Burlington QueercentsCate Burlington, currently a resident of gorgeous Seattle, Washington, was born and raised in Washington, DC. She loves libraries, computers, and nature. Happily, Seattle has all three.

Cate finished her BA in Economics in 2008, only three years late (but who’s counting?), at the age of 25. She spent most of her college years working with children, evincing great enthusiasm for kids’ songs and activities. She currently works as the Office Manager at a political non-profit, trying to keep her co-workers from ruining her filing system.

The debt that Cate acquired in college provided her with a fast education in the realities of personal finance. She believes passionately that everyone should have basic financial literacy, preferably before life thumps them over the head with it, and hopes that she can help contribute to that end.

Cate lets her nerdy side run amok at her blog Bookahol. She can be reached at cate@queercents.com.
