families get a better value.

The
rest of her experience:
Over 20 years front line (and management) experience in competitive industries including the technology,
retail and financial sectors.
Helped implement many new products at an individual level - including those of the digital
revolution in the financial sector. Adapted organizational solutions to meet the needs of clients and employees.
Helped several companies and
organizations create new opportunities and new marketplaces.
Helped talented staff take on greater challenges and
create better opportunities for themselves and their families.
Spent the last twelve years studying and working
with individual students to better understand the less political issues in education. During that time, she tutored many age
brackets in multiple topics including literacy development, math, science and more. She has observed in lots of classrooms.
Along the way she created individualized solutions to help students and teachers empower themselves. Today, in addition to
helping teens (and a few re-careerists) acquire important math and science skills, she helps them open
doors to opportunities that may not have existed a few years ago.
Co-author of three integrated science,
math and nonfiction literacy texts for younger students including Oh No Where Did All The Money Go?, Simple Machines Make
Work Easier and Simple Machines Lab Notebook.
Founder of http://www.henryshelpers.com/ - a little website that helps parents and teachers minimize the impact of someone
else's mean behaviors.
In her limited spare time, Kathy is improving her personal knowledge about Alzheimer's,
a tragic disease that has impacted her family significantly. "Wouldn't it be awesome to already have a $100
cure for Alzheimer's (and cancer) with no suffering? Think of how many families could have benefited from that?
If we don't have real cures for cancer and Alzheimer's, does it actually matter how much money someone has?
Think of how many rich people in the world don't have the ability to understand that money may not be everything."
