Kit is a linguist at heart. She earned a BA in Slavic linguistics and a 2nd Degree Black Belt in taekwondo, teaches group fitness at the YMCA and crochets elephants. She lives with her husband and three children in Durham, North Carolina, where she runs a home “restaurant” (gluten- and dairy-free) fondly called Mo’s Kitchen. Wondering how to pronounce that last name? The TRZ makes a CH sound (as in "chapter"): "che-BOON-yah!"
