Katharina Scholtz

Research Writer & GottaQuirk Queen

Katharina, or Kat as we have all come to know her, matriculated in 2002 and followed this up with a year abroad (oh the tough lives we lead...). When she came back to study in SA she completed a degree in Film Production and Media Studies at UCT and then went on to complete an honours in Brand Leadership from the Vega School in 2007.

Kat once admitted that she aspired to be a policewoman, but luckily for us she rather chose to intern at Quirk, working her way up to become our Research Writer and GottaQuirk Queen. We think she might have actually chosen the role as she occasionally gets to admonish us for not contributing to the blog or for our incessant incorrect use of the apostrophe - which satisfies her childhood policing dreams quite nicely.

When she isn't sourcing excellent topics to share on our blog, Kat describes her perfect day as sleeping in late followed by a huge lunch - preferably prepared by someone else - and ending with cocktails somewhere "pretty". But this night out probably won't include her dressing up - her childhood fear of being freakishly tall still prevents her from wearing heels. All in all, with her being super proud of her enormous music collection, always favouring flip flops and eating an extraordinary amount of toast, Kat is the quintessential QuirkStar, who we just think is "incredibly funny and amazing in all ways" (her words!).
