informed advice to students seeking both undergraduate and post-graduate studies abroad. Kathy's lifelong interest in music and marriage to a university professor of piano, has especially helped open doors to Brazilian music students to the best music schools in the US and Canada. Kathy's eclectic interests haven't changed much from her high school days. Still an avid lover of the arts, being an active participant in the art scene of Campinas; she is still a bookworm, a member of the International Women's Book Club, currently reading a strange assortment of books including The Plantagenets, Cormack McCarthy's Blood Meridian, Selected Poems by Seamus Heaney and the hilarious The Hundred Year Old Man by Jonas Jonasson. Ever the Tomboy, Kathy finally convinced her husband of the joys of a good ball game and so they are frequently found enjoying the high school ball games at the American School (where they received their most prized award "Best Fans of the Year", or their beloved soccer team, São Paulo, or having friends over to watch NFL and NBA games. Unfortunately, access to baseball is more difficult in Brazil, but Kathy, a die hard Cub fan, follows them daily on Facebook or via some internet stream. Our work helps us to fulfill our insatiable desire to travel and learn about other cultures. And as always, and most of all, Kathy still enjoys cooking and entertaining her friends, students and loved ones in our home.
