Kathryn ‘Kate’ Holz

Hi everyone!  I’m Kate Holz!  I have worked in the Recorder’s office for 15 years mapping land records. I’ve loved maps and all things geographical since I was a kid. I love to travel – to pretty much anywhere.  I love ethnic food and trying crazy things when I travel– but sometimes it’s just better not to know.

If I had a superpower it would be teleportation. I love dogs, but take cats on a case-by-case basis.  I enjoy concerts, plays, big cities, reading, sewing, board games, and a good pun (I can’t help it).  Chicago-style stuffed pizza makes me happy. I live in Orem.

UCEA Spotlight

Tammy Paynter

My name is Tammy Paynter and I have worked for the Utah County Attorney’s Office for a year and a half.  Prior to coming to Utah County, I worked for Murray City and Smithfield City in the same field.  I moved to Spanish Fork about 5 years ago and love living in Utah County.  I have 3 awesome kids and 5 wonderful step-kids.  I’m also the grandma to two adorable little grandsons.

I enjoy sports - well, I enjoy watching others play sports and spending time with my ever growing family.  I’m originally from Georgia sooo, if it’s a carbonated beverage it’s a Coke, vegetables are better deep-fried, grits taste way better than they look, peanuts are best when boiled and the Falcons always have a shot at the playoffs! I look forward to meeting and getting to know more of y’all!
