KADE HARPOLE

About Kade: My name is Kade Harpole and my pronouns are they/them. I’m originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin but moved out to San Diego with my cat, Buttons several years ago to escape the brutally cold midwest winters. Road tripping across the country with a cat was an adventure, to say the least, but we are both happy to be here. I’m currently attending classes at San Diego Mesa College and received my acceptance letter for San Diego State University. This upcoming fall I will be an SDSU third year transfer student. I plan to major in psychology, as I have both personal and professional interests in mental health awareness and clinical psychology. I hope to get involved with the creative writing club on campus and start performing at open mic nights in the community. In terms of writing, my dream is to be a published poet and I also have an interest in publishing other forms of writing including nonfiction, and most recently, fiction. In my free time I enjoy playing guitar and writing songs, hanging out with my three cats, Miso, Sushi, and of course Buttons (Buttons needed friends), exploring the outdoors, and spending time with my partner, friends, and family.
