Kat Robershaw
LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 21, 2021) After setting a goal, Kat Robershaw is known for letting nothing stand in her way, no matter how wild her ideas may seem. When that goal involved enrolling in a doctoral program, her creativity and drive were put to the test.
Despite facing challenges, Robershaw’s passion for making a difference pushed her to find a way forward at the University of Kentucky College of Education.
Her journey began in conversations that followed her between continents. No matter where she lived her native Hong Kong or in her current hometown of Wilmore, Kentucky she noticed virtually all parents’ conversations gravitated toward the same topic finding a school for their children.
