She was consistently a top performer and received numerous promotions over her two years, but as a Boston resident she continued to feel the pull of real estate and spent most weekends touring open houses in the Back Bay and South End.

Katherine currently lives in Wellesley with her husband Matt and loves splitting her time between the suburbs and city.
