Kait is the Managing Editor for Europe at MLex in Brussels. In this role, she runs a team of 30 journalists, guiding the editorial direction of MLex’s coverage of the EU and UK. Her responsibilities include leading ambitious reporting projects, maintaining the newsroom’s commitment to integrity and mentoring the next generation of journalists.

Before joining MLex, she was the Canadian Government reporter at Bloomberg, where she covered national politics, government policy, and Canada’s role on the global stage. Her beat included major events such as the 2021 elections and significant international meetings, such as the NATO, G7, and G20 summits.

She was also a reporter at Politico Europe, covering environmental, agriculture and fisheries policy, as well as hosting a weekly social media show about politics. Her work has also appeared in outlets including the BBC, The Guardian, NPR, Al-Jazeera, VICE, Deutsche Welle and the Irish Times.

Her TEDx talk “Protect Journalists, Protect Freedom” shares the idea that journalists need to be protected in order to protect freedom and democracy. In 2024, she was selected to join Poynter's prestigious Leadership Academy for Women in Media, a testament of her contribution as a leader in journalism.
