Kentucky Kids on The Block Lead Puppeteer, Amanda Guerra, has been working in the organization for the last nine years. Though she knew she wanted to be involved with a non-profit when she graduated from Western Kentucky University in 2010, she could have never guessed puppets would be part of her work routine. “I did the interview and about an hour later she called me back and told me I got the job. And I’m like, ‘okay, I guess I’m going to try being a puppeteer and see what happens'” said Guerra.
