Originally from New Jersey, Kathy received her B.A. in Psychology and Criminal Justice and a minor in Political Science from The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey in Pomona, New Jersey. She later received her J.D. from the Adrian Wiggins School of Law at Campbell University. While attending law school Kathy decided she liked North Carolina so much that she would make it home. While leaving her family behind was difficult, she does not regret her decision and loves living in North Carolina.

Kathy's practice is exclusively devoted to family law and domestic cases including child custody and support, post separation support, alimony, equitable distribution, separation agreements, and absolute divorce. She is a member of the Family Law section of the North Carolina Bar Association and the Wake County Bar.

She lives in Raleigh with her husband John and their son Preston. When she's not working Kathy enjoys getting her hands dirty in the yard with various landscaping and gardening projects. For exercise she spends the weekends chasing after her son.
