Kate has lived in Fairfield since 1983 having  moved from New Rochelle, NY. As a 1985 graduate of Roger Ludlowe, Kate has been a realtor selling homes in Fairfield since 1993.  She loves the many different neighborhoods in Fairfield, but she and her husband Donan chose Stratfield to raise their 3 children - Michaela, DJ & Kenzie (and their many Black Labs).

"The Community of Stratfield is very special and is quietly becoming a destination for those looking for a true sense of community within the growing town of Fairfield". Kate is looking forward to working with the SVA Board and the needs of the Community.

Debra grew up in Milford, CT, but Stratfield has always been special to her, as her grandmother (along with her 12 siblings) grew up on the corner of Stratfield Road and Montauk Street.

Debra is a proud graduate of Villanova University (go ‘Cats!) and she received her law degree from Quinnipiac College. She works for the City of Milford as in-house counsel, handling all legal matters with a concentration on contract negotiations and land use.
