Kate Parsons Proctor - Class of 2017

As the Assistant Director of Marketing and Communications at Forest Ridge School, Kate (’17) lives to tell stories in visual and written form. Kate’s focus is in digital Marketing, branding, and social media, areas that can lead in so many directions. In addition to overseeing all of Forest Ridge’s social media platforms, Kate’s responsibilities include telling the school’s story for current and potential students and families, potential donors, and Alumni.   

Kate has been doing this work since college where she served as the Development and Alumni Engagement Intern and later came to work on Overlake’s Development Team for a brief stint before pursuing work more geared toward digital marketing and content creation spaces. Kate even wrote for the Bellevue Reporter where she honed her professional writing style. 

Kate is also a connected, committed member of our Overlake Alumni community having served on our Alumni Board for several years and attending many Alumni and school events. When she’s not working at Forest Ridge or spending time helping Overlake grow, Kate can usually be found on the Burke Gilman Trail where she loves to run, even training for (and completing) her first full marathon in Ireland in summer of 2024.
