Kate Boccia began her journey as a philanthropic leader in the community early on. Her lifelong love of community service and her desire to give back earned her a solid reputation as someone who makes a difference. 

As a Realtor, Kate Boccia was a Lifetime Member of the Million Dollar Club in Palm Beach County, Florida prior to moving to Alpharetta and starting a family. In recent years, she has worked as an art dealer, pioneering the opening of the first contemporary art gallery in North Fulton. This allowed Boccia to bring her vision to the suburbs.

In addition to careers in real estate and art dealing, Kate has been a volunteer with The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in Atlanta for more than 20 years and currently serves on the Executive Board of Directors. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has honored her with Volunteer of the Year Award and a National Leadership Council Appointment for her strong leadership roles.

With a creative eye, Kate sought out ways to bring the community together, thus creating the setting for her latest venture, a blog titled ‘My Life in the Burbs’.  As a platform to create awareness of small businesses, and a jumping block for her daily deal program, Shop, Eat, Live, Boccia intends to once again make a direct impact on the community she lives in.

Boccia currently resides in Alpharetta, Georgia with her husband, Frank and two adult children.
