Kathy’s roots are in Marblehead MA, where she grew up with a love of the ocean and a passion for racing sailboats. She went on to get her BA degree from Brown University, teach middle school science for 12 years, and then study landscape design at Radcliffe College. In 1990 she moved to Round Pond and married her fisherman husband, Wallace Leeman. Together they ran a charter business with their 36’ lobster boat focused on ecological tours, hauling lobster pots, hiking islands, and viewing sea birds.
More recently, Kathy has donned the cap of a real estate agent associated with Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty. As she witnesses the rapid growth in the area brought on by an insurgence of buyers from away, she is more committed than ever to the preservation of valuable local lands. First working with the Pemaquid Watershed Association, she has served on the lands committee for Coastal Rivers for the past few years. On her time off she can most often be found out in the fields and woods training and hiking with her two golden retrievers!
