Kate has a passion for social impact work and brings more than 15 years of experience in nonprofit marketing and development, communications, and advertising copywriting in California, Washington DC, Florida, and her home state of Kansas. Somewhere in there she also got her Masters in Public Administration from the University of York in England—and married her British husband Alex, with whom she now has two kids, Lucy and Teddy. Kate was most recently Director of Marketing for United Way Bay Area in San Francisco but is thrilled to be back in Kansas and helping raise awareness—and funds—for HumanKind’s important work.

Matt manages HumanKind Ministries’s three homeless shelters, oversees street outreach efforts, and supervises the case managers at our three low-income apartment buildings. He works with Impact ICT- CoC (Continuum of Care) to coordinate services among different agencies serving the homeless and low-income. Matt has over 11 years working with vulnerable populations in the Wichita area. He has a Master or Arts degree in Leadership and is an ordained pastor with the Church of God.

Greer works with organizations, businesses, churches, and individuals in the Wichita community to build partnerships with HumanKind Ministries through fundraising, volunteerism, and outreach. Greer comes to HumanKind from Exploration Place where she worked in education and first fell in love with working for a nonprofit. She is a native Wichitan (go Aces!) and a graduate of Westminster College in Missouri with a Bachelor of Arts in History. She loves eating tapas and reminiscing over the two years she spent in Spain after college. Greer is excited to connect people with HumanKind’s programs, helping those in our community who need it most.

Emily’s marketing career began in her home of the UK, where she spent seven years marketing cookies (or biscuits as she calls them) and then toys. Since moving to Wichita in 2017, as well as building a house and welcoming her first child, Emily broadened her experience at local ad agency Signal Theory where she spent three years. Emily now brings her traditional marketing experience to the nonprofit world and manages all of HumanKind’s marketing efforts including social media, PR, design and communications. “I’ve had a wonderful career so far and now I’m ready to pay that forward and invest in this city that’s become home.”

Brie is passionate about making an impact in the Wichita community. She received her Master’s and Bachelor’s of Science from Oklahoma State University (Go Pokes!) and has since returned to Kansas, working with area nonprofits for the last 10 years. She loves playing pickle ball, spending weekends with family at the lake and raising her two boys, Staley and Tobey. Brie is looking forward to connecting passionate Wichita volunteers with opportunities to make an impact in the lives of our communities’ most vulnerable residents.

Jess has a specialized background in nonprofit databases and advocacy with underserved populations, having spent over a decade with organizations in Harvey, Marion, and McPherson counties serving children and adults sexual violence victims. She says: “The most vulnerable are pushed to the edge of our communities without strong advocates to push for justice and healing for each and every one.” Her passion for optimizing databases has brought better reporting to show a full and vivid picture of those that are served and the growing need for more services. She is looking forward to using her knowledge to serve Wichita’s homeless population.

Jess loves spending time with family, her husband Kevin, and children Trista and Gavin. Most weekends she can be found camping with her children or scout troop. She is not one for pitching a tent and instead has her trusty all-weather hammock to sleep under the stars.
