| About Kathy |

PERSONAL
My journey began 51 years ago in Pensacola, Florida. My father, Harvey Cotten Jr.
was an insurance adjustor and my mother, Marion, a stay-at-home mom. My parents were
active in our church and community and I learned at an early age the importance of serving others.
 My father campaigned for Reuben Askew and when he was
elected Governor, Daddy was asked to join the staff as
Executive Assistant to the Governor. We moved to
Tallahassee in 1971. I was a page in the Florida
Legislature as a sophomore in high school. As a
student attending Florida State University, I volunteered
to help in many local campaigns.
I graduated from FSU with a BS Degree in Audiology and
Speech Pathology and from the University of North Florida
with a M. ED in Deaf Education.
 I am married to Bob Bryant and have lived in Powell for
26 years. Bob and I have 2 children. Our son, Adam,
graduated from Powell High School in 2002 and is currently pursuing a career in editing and producing
documentary films in New York. Our daughter, Lee, graduated
from Powell High School as Valedictorian in 2007 and attends
Rhodes College in Memphis. We are proud of our children's
accomplishments and look forward to the great things they
will achieve in the future.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
I have been actively involved in PTA holding many positions
including Powell Elementary PTA president. I worked for Knox
County schools from 1981-1988. I was privileged to participate
in the East Tennessee Council on Children and Youth as President
and Legislative Chair. The goal of the organization was to advocate
for issues affecting children and youth.
I have served as a member of the Knox County Friends of the Library
Board and I am chair of the Advisory Board for the Knox County
Family Resource Center. A position I have held for the past 14 years. I am member of the
Powell Business and Professional Association and the Karns Business Association.
My passion is families. I have been employed with Tennessee's Early Intervention
System as an Early Intervention Teacher for over 20 years. I am privileged to work
with families in their homes whose children, birth to three, have special needs.
I attend Second Presbyterian Church where I teach Sunday School for
3 and 4 year olds, participate as a high school youth advisor, and
sing in our Praise Band.
