Meet Marta
Agribusiness Specialist | 26 Years
Marta has made so many precious memories over her years at KAC. One of her favorite moments was when she transformed KAC’s program, and her career, by introducing the GardenWorks program. Since then, she always looks forward to harvesting time, so she can see how proud each program participant is when they pull up their own carrots and other veggies. Surprisingly, Marta doesn’t have her own garden at home, but her green thumb has helped KAC’s garden come to life.
