Kathy is a native of Mercer County, New Jersey and holds a BFA in graphic design. She is a seasoned creative professional who specializes in the dynamic field of communication and consistently demonstrates a passion for creating compelling messages, visually engaging content, and effective strategies that drive successful communication campaigns.

Of CMAP’s mission, Kathy says “I am honored to work for a team that is dedicated to helping older adults thrive…and building a compassionate and inclusive society, which gives me hope for the future.” In her retirement, Kathy hopes to travel to new places and carve out more time for painting, drawing, and gardening.
