Kam Buckowski is my nickname. As EMTA’s ‘Operations Supervisor’, I enjoy helping clients, instructors and students with their classes and training – they always keep me smiling!
My professional background includes over twenty-five years of business administrative experience. In 1990, I earned a BA Degree in Business Management with an emphasis in Accounting from Sonoma State University in California. Childhood years were spent in the San Francisco Bay Area, before moving to Bainbridge Island, WA for High School.
At age 19, traveling the world was my passion. I threw a backpack on and headed for ‘The Land Down Under’, where I met a wonderful man, whom I’d eventually marry. He was an open ocean sailor, single-handedly circumnavigating the world on his thirty-foot sailboat from Hawaii and I was a Sailmaker from California. Aussie friends always asked, “Why two ‘Bloody Yanks’ traveled seven thousand miles to meet one another”? Nine years later, after sailing a few oceans together, we married in 1994. Since then, we’ve taken a break from sailing and are now having fun with aviation. No children – just an Australian Shepherd/Collie mix who acts like a kid.
Spare time is spent with family and friends on our overgrown Christmas Tree Farm in Adna, WA. Projects at home, cooking, gardening, beadwork and strolling through antique stores & open markets are my pleasures.
