Get to know me.
I’m excited to share a bit about my journey so far. My name is Kate Testone, and I’m proud to call Austin, Texas, my hometown. Being raised in a third-generation entrepreneurial family has instilled in me a strong work ethic and a passion for embracing new challenges. In other words, I love the hustle! Growing up in Austin, with its vibrant energy and constant innovation, has fueled my drive for creativity and ambition.
After finishing high school, I set off on a new adventure in Fayetteville, Arkansas, where I enrolled at the University of Arkansas to study communications. During my time there, I not only immersed myself in academic pursuits but also volunteered with Dream B.I.G., a local organization dedicated to empowering young people. This experience, combined with my studies, strengthened my ability to communicate effectively and reinforced my passion for making a positive impact.
Beyond the lecture hall, my experiences have shaped my career aspirations. At a roundtable event, I had the privilege of advocating for the FANS First Act alongside Senator Cornyn, which also led to a serendipitous meeting with Andy Loughnane, President of Austin FC. That encounter opened the door to an internship that immersed me in the fast-paced world of professional soccer and social media strategy.
Driven by my passion for marketing, I joined Story Amplify, where I developed strong technical and analytical skills. I conducted keyword research, designed social media content, and crafted data-driven strategies to optimize campaigns for maximum impact.
Following my time at Austin FC and Story Amplify, I moved to Houston, ready for new challenges. I joined the Southern Texas PGA as a Digital Media Intern, where I’ve continued to develop my skills in content creation and marketing.
Now, I’m eager to connect and collaborate to create something impactful. The journey is just beginning, and I’m thrilled to have you along for the ride!
