Kathi graduated from the East Providence High School. She would go on to study Chinese and Oceanography at Cornell University. She then studied at the Graduate School of Oceanography in the University of Rhode Island. Her career began with Science Applications, Inc., studying sediments in the Long Island Sound. She would continue on to the Center for Remote Sensing at Boston University. It was at Boston University that she met her husband, who was at the time a Professor there. Several years would pass before they married. Kathi took a staff position in computers at Roger Williams University in Bristol, RI until 1994, and would then work in a staff position at MIT in the Center for Space Research from 1994-2007. For the past 26 years, she has also served as President of the family business, Wavelet Technologies.

Kathi married her husband on October 15, 1995. They had two sons, and she cherished the time she spent with them. She was associated with the Narragansett Bay Wheelmen Bicycle club, where she regularly participated in 50-mile and 100-mile bicycle rides. As an oceanographer, she loved being close to the ocean and water. She also loved gardening, quilting, and camping. Kathi twice ran for City Council in Attleboro, MA, in 2012 and again in 2014. She was heavily involved with the Catholic Parochial schools that her sons attended, and she was a CCD teacher.
