Kathryn opened her own law practice after graduating from New England Law | Boston in 2014 and UMass Amherst in 2005. In addition to her solo practice, Kathryn is an active member of the legal community, and she regularly seeks pro bono cases from MetroWest Legal Services and the Volunteer Lawyers Project. She is also an active member of the Boston Bar Association and Starting Out Solo. Although Kathryn enjoys the technical aspects of the law, her favorite part of the job is connecting with clients on a personal level to help them solve real problems and plan for the future.   

Prior to opening her firm, Kathryn was a professional figure skater for Disney on Ice. She also played an important role at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund in the areas of event compliance, data integrity, data input, and donor services.
