Kathleen has been working in the LBGT community for nearly 10 years getting her start at LesBiGay Radio in Chicago as a public relations and marketing newbie working on large Chicago events such as North Halsted Market Days and Chicago's Annual Pride Parade not to mention working side by side with LBGT supporters Miller Brewing and Merck Pharms.
From LesBiGay Radio Kathleen headed into print and online media working for Third Coast Marketing and now with Windy City Media Group.

When Kathleen is not busy throwing events, marketing and promoting Chicago's leading gay media entities she enjoys spending time with her girlfriend Keely, her two dogs (Frankie and Pudge) and 15 year old cat, Murphy. She's also an avid daredevil enjoying bungee jumping, indoor skyflying, hang gliding, driving her motorcycle blindfolded (just kiddin' about that one) and experiencing life to the fullest on as many vacations as she can squeeze in.
