I help students navigate their career journeys, bridging the gap between academic achievements and professional success. Kimberly Tatro grew up in Upper Darby, PA. Her path to Myrtle Beach began in 1990 when her family started vacationing here every summer. in Sport Management at York College of Pennsylvania where she met her husband Eric. After college they moved to his hometown Pompton Lakes, NJ
. Her career began as the Assistant Sports Information Director at William Paterson University; then the Special Olympics New Jersey Training Director; to the Director of Facilities, Recreation & Intramurals at John Jay College of Criminal Justice; FDNY Training Liaison; Assistant Softball Coach and USA Field Hockey FUTURES Level 2 Coach. While working in NYC she earned a Masters in Sport Science from United States Sports Academy and began adjunct teaching on the side at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in the Health and Physical Education department. In 2008, Kimberly and Eric bought a vacation home in Myrtle Beach and would visit every 6-10 weeks. In 2012, now a family of four the Tatro’s took the leap moving 700 miles from city life to the beach life. Although nervous, scared and bittersweet they never looked back. It was the best move to make for their family. Kimberly’s parents moved down two years later upon their retirement and Eric’s dad purchased a vacation home in Surfside Beach. Kimberly stayed home with the kids for three years taking full advantage of all the area has to offer. She then joined Coastal Carolina University, Department of Kinesiology as a Lecturer in 2015. Kimberly has been friends with The DeForrest Team since 2013; she has always been interested in a career in Real Estate and loves working with people. Her strengths in education, organization and attention to detail will be her strongest contributions to the team. Kimberly and Eric reside in the Market Common area with their now three children who are active in soccer, gymnastics, golf and surfing. The Tatro's are avid sports fans and often a divided household. While they all like Clemson Football and the NY Yankees, Kimberly is Philadelphia Flyers and Eagles while Eric is NY Rangers and Giants.
