Kathy has been watching Dr. Who since she was in the womb. While technically Colin Baker should be her Doctor, she loved Peter Davison the best. Subsisting on the Target novelizations, BBC books, and Big Finish Audio Dramas, she cried copious tears of joy when New Who came back on the air in 2005. Never missing an episode, Kathy enjoys discussing the finer points of wibbley-wobbley timey-wimey stuff with anyone who will sit still long enough.

In convention running, Kathy has primarily been involved with Norwescon. Starting in 2009, she joined the staff and helped Norwescon apply for recognition as an IRS 501(c)(3) exempt organization. She then was chair of Norwescon for Norwescons 38, 39, and 40. On the Worldcon stage, she began volunteering with Sasquan and was the Operations Division Head for San Jose Worldcon 76 and Deputy Division Head for Member and Staff Services at Dublin 2019: An Irish Worldcon. She has worked on the Hugo’s Voter Packet for Worldcon 76, Dublin 2019, and DisCon III. Finally, she will be the Division Head for Member Services for Chicon 8.

Outside of fandom, Kathy is a recovering academic who is a hit at cocktail parties with obscure trivia about European judicial systems. She can also be found dancing at clubs and raucously singing along with karaoke at dive bars.

SunnyJim has been involved with various Worldcon programming teams, has been the Vice-Chair of Norwescon, headed programming for Norwescon eight times, and worked in a variety of other departments at a variety of local conventions. She worked professionally in the event industry in Seattle for several years.
