Kathy was born on the Northwest side of Chicago and has lived in Park Ridge since 1960, where she attended grammar school and high school. She still lives in Park Ridge and remains active in many community and philanthropic organizations. "I enjoy helping people find the right house. It can be very rewarding and challenging," Kathy says. "Walking on the lakefront, shopping, eating chocolate, gardening and exercising are some of the things I do to make me happy, but a really great day for me would be to spend it with my family and grandchildren."
