Kathleen was born a middle child, one of two girls in a family of nine children. She was raised in Chicagoland, moving to rural Northern Illinois in her early twenties.

She holds a Master’s of Science in Child & Youth Care Administration from Nova Southeastern University and a BA in Sociology from Northern Illinois University.

In her second half of life, Tresemer shifted gears to embrace a new career track: professional writing. She makes a living as a freelance writer and journalist.
