Kat KaramitrosKat Karamitros is a 25-year-old United States Marine and professional musician. When she's not wearing her uniform or performing in concerts and parades all over the country, Kat enjoys Spartan Racing, rollerblading, cooking, and writing. She describs writing as her first love, a passion she maintains alongside service to country. When Crossing the Street is inspired by Kat's childhood memory, where she recalls she and her uncle composing an outlandish list of characters, vehicles, and creatures to spy on the street. Only when her imagination had been fully satisfied, would she cross the street and walk to the park near her home. Kat originally wrote When Crossing the Street at age 12, for the uncle who sparked her imagination. Kat is a native of Cedar Rapids, Iowa and currently resides in Port Royal, South Carolina. She'll never get too attached to one place, as home is wherever the Marine Corps takes her. Read More Read Less
