When she is not working, she loves to connect with her friends over a glass of wine or delicious meal. Kati loves to cook and is frequently spoiling her loved ones and little nieces with home baked cookies. When she is not out socializing, she is either working out at Pure Barre, on a walk with her dog, or curled up under a blanket with a cup of tea and a good book.
