She has been a full-time licensed Realtor for over 30 years and has achieved top producer status numerous times over the years. She was an art major first at Dean Jr. College in Massachusetts and completed her degree at Johnson State College while ski-bumming in Stowe in the early 70′s. Kathy combines her love of architecture and the outdoors when walking land or helping a buyer find or build the right home.
