Kari Campos-Hamilton
Treasurer
Bio:
Graduated from the RIT Social Work program and currently work at NTID. I love animals and nature. Seeing sunsets where ever I am is always refreshing to my soul. Getting up for the occasional sunrise does wonders, as well. I love analyzing finances and learning about Financial Independence, hence the reason I became Treasurer. I am happily married and raising a wonderful kid! Hope to meet more folks at various events. Come find out which football team I support and what other sports I love. :-)
Donna Tuffner
Events Coordinator
Bio:
Hello all! I lived in Rochester for many years since graduating from RIT with my first degree in 1994. I am currently a faculty for the Business Studies Department at RIT/NTID teaching and preparing our future generation for the job market. I am a teacher by day and a pet sitter/dog boarder all the other times. I also work closely with dog rescues in the south by fostering dogs and finding furever homes/families for them in Western New York. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my four precious loves; three kitties and my big boy—a black shepherd. I am excited to be your new Events Coordinator for DWR and look forward to meeting you all at our DWR events!
