KATHLEEN KEATING • MS. NEW YORK SENIOR AMERICA 2011
Kathleen Keating, a native Long Islander, lives in Freeport with her significant other, Mathew.
The mother of three sons, Kathi is eagerly awaiting the arrival of grandchild number seven.
A magna cum laude graduate of Nassau Community College, Kathi obtained her Bachelor of Science
degree from SUNY Empire College with a dual major in Public Administration and Marketing.
She earned a certificate from NYU in Conference, Meeting and Events Planning and received an award from
Dale Carnegie Institute for Excellence in Public Speaking.
Over a span of 15 years she first was Executive Assistant to the Mayor of Freeport and later Director of Tourism
and Special Events. Kathi?s role included planning festivals, parades, community events and fundraising.
During her final year working in local government she served as Deputy Press Secretary to the
Nassau County Executive. In 2002 she fulfilled her dream of working in Manhattan.
She is currently Operations Coordinator for a national healthcare company.
After a premature change of life, she suffered breakage of multiple bones and was, therefore, advised to build her bone
mass through exercise. Having never previously exercised, she now made it part of her daily life.
Twenty years later, she is still working out and has never broken another bone. This commitment to exercise
propelled Kathi to attend Hofstra University?s program in Fitness and Health, and she was certified as a
personal trainer in 2006.
Passionately fond of dancing, especially to old time rock and roll, she is currently enrolled in ballroom dance
classes and loves it. She is also an avid gardener and homemaker, and enjoys gourmet cooking.
