We could not be more excited to have someone with Tammy’s expertise join our company.”

Joining KIT is an exciting opportunity to take my for-profit marketing experience and bring that skill set to a mission that I think is truly inspiring, timely and important.

My children are more loving, kind and accepting of the differences of others because of their daily experiences.”
