    ROTARY CLUB OF CENTRAL MARIN
    Kathy Kardos
    I came to Marin County 23 years ago and have lived in San Anselmo for most of that time. Previous to that, I lived in Chicago for a number of years and was born and raised in the great city of Pittsburgh, PA.  I'm the oldest of three siblings, to whom I've very close.  I'm currently single and don't have children, which allows me to visit my family and friends in the midwest often! I've worked since the early '80s in the technology industry and currently serve as a Technical Specialist at Microsoft, where I help clients implement AI solutions within their companies and workforces.  We live in an exciting time regarding technology, and I feel lucky to work in this fast-paced field. My hobbies are road cycling, cooking, hiking, and knitting.  I love being outdoors and love living in Marin!
