TIRS PTO

Treasurer

My name is Kathy Kent, & I am the current 2023-2024 TIRS PTO Treasurer. I would like to run for next year's Treasurer position again for 2024-2025 TIRS school year. 

I am the proud mother of 2 amazing children: Alina (4th grader at CJDS) & Sammy (PreK at CJP). I grew up in Charleston, SC & moved to Charlotte in 2005. I met & married Charlotte native & lifelong TI member, Harry Tepper.

I have a public accounting background & graduate degree from UNCC (go 49ers!). Currently, I am a housewife, mom, & volunteer.  I joined TI around 2016 & have enjoyed getting more involved in TI's community, especially participating in the Purim Spiel for the past 2 yrs & as TIRS PTO Treasurer this past school year. 

My hobbies include going to concerts & enjoying live music & cultural events, dancing, J-Forcing at the LJCC, travel, & enjoying friends & family time. 

I look forward to participating again in TIRS PTO as Treasurer, & I appreciate your votes.

Thank you for the opportunity & for the enriching community!
