Nancy Knauf had a 20+ year career in marketing and advertising management. While working as a Marketing Manager at Cincinnati Bell, she attained a second college degree in Music. In 2010, Nancy became a Kindermusik business owner and teacher. She created a multi-site program and raised funds through a private foundation to bring the many educational benefits of early childhood music education to at-risk preschool students. Due to the pandemic, Nancy could no longer work in schools and discontinued her business. She accepted a grant-funded position with the Kenton County Public Library. Prior to the grant ending, she was hired full-time as a Career Navigator in the Covington branch. Nancy uses her communication and teaching skills and business knowledge to help job seekers market themselves effectively.
