Katrina loves to explore Chicago neighborhoods with her children and husband (who is also her real estate partner). There is nothing more fun than playing in the park, noshing at a quaint eatery or taking a walk along the lake. She enjoys yoga, running and the arts. Katrina relishes every chance to play a tourist guide for friends and family to show-off all of Chicago's best finds and of course its world class food and architecture.
