Kathy Wolper has always had a passion for sweets. She has about 30 years of experience teaching children and training adults. She is a PA certified elementary teacher and has a Certified Technical Trainer designation.  Kathy decided to combine her love of teaching with her love of baking and candy making and from that, the Kitchen Wizards brand of culinary enrichment programs were born.

Kathy is enthusiastic about cooking, baking, and candy making because she loves working in the kitchen. It gives Kathy a feeling of accomplishment when she produces something tasty, and as Kitchen Wizards, we hope to ignite that love of the culinary arts in our students. Kathy has taken candy making and baking classes at Main Line School Night and The Disney Institute, in order to hone the skills she learned from her mother while she was growing up. Kitchen Wizards hopes to be grooming future baking business owners, or at least people who can pass along these skills to their own children someday.

Wendi Pacinelli has been teaching for the past six years in both early childhood and elementary classrooms.  Currently she is an elementary school teacher in the Norristown Area School District.  Wendi graduated from Drexel University in 2002 with a B.S in psychology and earned a Master's of Education and PA certification from Cabrini College in 2009.   Wendi loves to cook in her free time and recreate special family recipes that have been passed down to her from her Mom and Grandmother.  She also likes to create new recipes in the kitchen and try them out on her husband. Wendi is very excited to be joining Kitchen Wizards and is looking forward to sharing her love of cooking with her campers.
