Kate Jakubas is an engineer at heart and by training—and she has the degrees to prove it. Armed with a bachelor's in material science engineering and a master's in environmental engineering and water management, Kate entered the workforce in areas that lined up nicely with her education. But, something nagged at her conscience. So she did what any good engineer would do. She learned yet another discipline and set about solving it. 

The question that nagged at her was, "What exactly is in our cleaning products?" As she progressed in her career, the question never left the back of her mind; until she decided to pursue this with the rigor of an engineer and the spirit of an entrepreneur. 

Born, raised and educated in Chicago, there was never a question that her journey into the corporate world as a business owner would take place here as well. Kate founded Meliora and shares her path of starting, running and now growing a people-friendly and planet-friendly line of cleaning solutions.
