Volunteer Kimberly Konstant is sharing her culinary passion with Carver students. A seasoned marketing executive and Westport resident, Kimberly brings her creative energy and collaborative spirit to teach the art and science of baking, a life skill that nourishes creativity, connection, and confidence. It not only fosters a sense of accomplishment and brings people together but also teaches the importance of nutrition and the value of using whole, nutritious ingredients instead of empty-calorie or artificial alternatives. It’s a delicious way to build healthy habits and a deeper understanding of mindful eating.

Kimberly also helped the Carver Westport Connections Party be a vibrant event celebrating community involvement and engagement. With over 20 years of experience in digital marketing, including leadership roles at renowned companies like Google, Calvin Klein, and MAV Beauty Brands, she’s no stranger to inspiring creativity and fostering collaboration. Her professional success is matched by her compassionate approach to service, guided by her belief in the power of meaningful contributions, no matter how small.

Under her guidance, Carver students learn baking techniques and explore concepts such as nutrition, sustainable food practices, and food safety. The newly renovated kitchen, designed to foster hands-on learning and equipped with state-of-the-art appliances, provides the perfect setting for these lessons.

Kimberly’s classes are interactive and engaging. They allow students to experiment with ingredients, try new recipes, and gain confidence in their abilities. The students’ excitement is evident as they chop, mix, and create treats they can proudly share with their families.

This initiative is a testament to the power of community collaboration, highlighting how Carver’s programs continue to enrich the lives of students and volunteers alike. Kimberly’s dedication exemplifies the spirit of Carver’s mission: empowering youth through education, mentorship, and skill-building opportunities.

The renovated kitchen is now a hub of inspiration, connection, and growth. Thanks to volunteers like Kimberly Konstant, Carver students are learning to approach challenges with curiosity, creativity, and a dash of confidence.
