She was known to be the life of the team, always pointing them in the right direction. Hal often said that Hawk Team couldn't function without her.

Operation: YING-YANG
In Hawk Team's first engagement, a small counter-Insurrectionist operation on Earth, the team was assigned to destroy a small nuclear silo. Hawk Team infiltrated and destroyed the silo successfully.

Kate distinguished herself by holding off a squad of Insurrectionist soldiers while her team was busy with several tanks that rolled in. It is unknown how the Insurrectionists gained control of the tanks.

Death
On May 13th, 2569, Hawk Team assaulted a Covenant ship sitting above a small moon. The assault went well, up until they exited the craft. Kate was first down the gravity lift, and strode out on point, like she always did. Three Kig-Yar sniper simultaneously opened fire on her. All three shots struck her in the head, knocking down her shields and penetrating her visor. Kate was killed instantly by the particle beam.
