Born and raised in Calgary, Kass, from a young age, developed a love for learning people’s stories and being able to share them with the community (or her family, or whoever would listen). In addition to working in communities like Okotoks and Calgary, Kass has also spent her summers travelling with the World Professional Chuckwagon Association since 2019, to help provide a peek behind the barn door into the world of chuckwagon racing, a sport she has always had a love or passion for.

Through her career as a broadcaster, Kass has been able to share the stories from the wagon trail and the dirt both on social media and legacy media. Outside of work, Kass shares her journey with mental health and the impact horses have made to help her cope and grow into the person she is. No matter where she is, it is likely Kass can be found with the biggest cup of coffee possible or going to get a refill.
