Kate Mays

Reporter, Johnson County Post

Hi! I’m Kate Mays, and I cover Olathe for the Johnson County Post.

I grew up in Lenexa and graduated from Shawnee Mission Northwest. I earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Kansas where I produced podcasts for 90.7 KJHK.

I went on to get a master’s in journalism from New York University. Before joining the Post, I interned for KCUR and produced an investigative, true-crime podcast.
