One of the first women I met after moving to Boerne encouraged me to learn about Impact San Antonio based on my dedication to charitable giving. When ISA had its first event in 2021, I attended and signed on as a Champion that night. When I learned that my $1000 turns into ½ a Million to benefit others in need, it was a no brainer for me to join.
I also immediately signed up to serve on a Grant Review Team which I have done every year since. I was so impressed with the overall ISA grant process, I also volunteered as a Support Grant Liaison for two years. Thus, when asked to serve on the Board, I could not be more honored to give of my time and talents to serve all the volunteers who give so much to our community.
Kasandra graduated with a Bachelors and Masters from Stanford University. After briefly teaching high school, she entered the world of corporate education and development. Her career took her all over the world and eventually she settled in Texas where she would raise her only son.
In 2019 Kasandra turned ½ a Century and published a book “The Happiness Formula.” With two milestones reached, she decided to take an executive sabbatical from her speaking and coaching business and formally retire from her financial services practice to assess what she wanted the second half of her life to look like.
By mid-2021 she chose to launch a new business. This time, however, ALL net proceeds would support charitable causes. By January 2022, Kasandra placed her first healthy vending machine.
Kasandra’s company, HEALTHY TREATS 4U, supplies and services businesses with vending machines filled with healthier drinks and snacks. It is a free service to the business and all net proceeds are donated.
When she is not filling a machine, Kasandra volunteers her time with the San Antonio Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners, she works out, studies Torah and leads a monthly women’s online bible study, and travels domestically and internationally with her husband, Chris.
