Lunch Bunch Hanna Kemble

Kait Macenka lives in landlocked Kansas City, yet she is a trained Scuba Diver. Kait shares her story of getting certified in scuba diving along with everything you need to know before you make your first scuba trip. Let's dive in! 

Today we interview, flutist, teacher, and band director Daniela Thrasher. Daniela tells us the story of how she changed career paths when moving from Germany to the United States. We also try to solve the age old debate of flutist vs. flautist. We play name that tune and she even teaches us a little German. Fun fact: Daniela was a Kansas Teacher of the Year finalist this year.

More than ever we should be excited about today’s guest. She is an expert and change agent for renewable energy in Kansas. She works tirelessly to create clean energy solutions for a better tomorrow. Not only is she the Executive Director of the Climate and Energy Project, but she has also been featured on national news as a clean energy expert. Please welcome Dorothy Barnett to Lunch Bunch.
