As we embark on a new chapter at Susquehanna Style magazine, I am thrilled to introduce myself as your new publisher. My name is Kate Hunter, and I am honored to join this incredible community of creators, dreamers and doers who make Central Pennsylvania such a vibrant and inspiring place to live.
Since I was 10 years old, I dreamed of becoming a chef, with big aspirations of one day being a TV chef. That passion led me to culinary school, where I honed my craft and embarked on a career in fine dining and country clubs, refining my skills in high-pressure kitchens. Eventually, my path shifted to food service marketing, where I combined my culinary expertise with business acumen, helping companies like Hershey, Snyder’s Pretzels and Kunzler Foods bring their products into homes across Central PA.
For the past 20 years, I have been privileged to work closely with small businesses, witnessing firsthand the passion, resilience and innovation that fuel our local economy. It is these experiences that have shaped my deep appreciation for the makers and visionaries who pour their heart and soul into their work, enriching our community in countless ways.
At Susquehanna Style, we have always been committed to celebrating the people and places that define our region—and now, more than ever, I am eager to amplify these stories. From the artisans crafting one-of-a-kind pieces to the entrepreneurs building legacies, we aim to shine a spotlight on the talent and tenacity that set Central PA apart.
As I step into this role, my mission is clear: to connect with you—our readers, our partners and our community—to celebrate what makes this region extraordinary. Together, we will continue to champion the values of creativity, collaboration and community that are at the heart of Susquehanna Style.
Thank you for welcoming me into this role and for your continued support of the magazine. I look forward to sharing the journey ahead as we explore and honor the stories that make Central Pennsylvania not just a place to live, but a place to love.
