Kat was raised in MA with entrepreneurial parents and her twin sister. Growing up, Kat was busy with “social studies” while her sister was excelling at school. Let’s put it this way, coloring inside the lines, was never her strength.

As a grownup, Kat excelled at Marriott and succeeded in many positions for nearly 10 years. Always looking for a challenge, she switched gears to take on New York City Real Estate.

Early 2019, Kat started building her business, in her 400 sq. ft apartment on East 74th Street. Glamorous right? It clearly runs in the family as her father started his business on East 71st street 40+ years ago.

Kat remains in NYC, now in a 600 sq. ft apartment and continues to color outside the lines. She unlocks others ability to build their own business, on their terms, using her personal toolbox, mentorship and guidance.
