A columnist for All Animals magazine, she founded Humane Gardener, an outreach initiative dedicated to animal-friendly landscaping methods. Her book and garden have been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, O: The Oprah Magazine, and other media outlets.

She has originated nearly thirty leading roles and sung on stages such as Carnegie Hall and Symphony Hall, Boston.

She enjoys immersing herself in the POV of the author and the many diverse characters she has portrayed. She is as comfortable performing historical biographies as she is cozy mysteries and thrillers. Kitty has recorded over 100 audiobooks, mostly with major publishers and in nearly every genre.
