Kait Springsdorf turned a summer job into a life

Kait Springsdorf didn’t plan to stay when she came up to Glen Arbor in 2020 for a summer job. Six years, a fiance, a dog and a new job later, she isn’t planning on going anywhere.

“I always envisioned myself growing up here, like moving up here, being here,” Springsdorf said. “And it’s kind of crazy to see that come to fruition.”

She grew up downstate in Owosso, as a self described “stubborn, lively, happy kid” who could just as easily be found playing outside among the trees as twirling around in a dress and heels. Summers spent visiting family friends in Frankfort planted the love of northern Michigan early and got her dreaming of maybe one day calling the region home.
