Kat Summers

As a marketing and communications professional with over 15 years of experience, I thrive at the intersection of strategy, creativity, and innovation. In my current role as Co-Head of the Corporate Marketing Department & Director of Digital Marketing at Guest Services, Inc., a private hospitality management company, I lead integrated marketing efforts across national and state parks, hotels, resorts, and recreational properties nationwide. I’m passionate about improving workflows, fostering relationships, and delivering impactful campaigns that drive engagement and results.

My expertise spans storytelling, problem-solving, and leveraging brand strategy to craft messages that resonate across diverse digital media channels. Whether it's through omnichannel communications, social media campaigns, or content marketing, I bring creativity, personality, and precision to every project.

Outside of work, I embrace life’s little joys. You’ll find me listening to music 24/7, having living dance parties with my family, discovering new movies and Asian dramas, and exploring new flavors from Pinterest inspired chicken recipes to the best wings and food trucks in town. I also love traveling and immersing myself in new experiences.

I’m passionate about promoting cultural diversity and gender equality, and I’m always looking to connect with like-minded professionals who share these values.
