Smiles Included

We’re thrilled to announce five new members have joined our editorial staff! SmilesIncluded will be welcoming Cindy Mantegna, Angela Derrick, Theresa Adams, Cory Vas, and Judson Kusy to our work force. These five newest members of the editing team are trained in such pertinent areas as child development, pediatric occupational therapy, family relations, pediatric developmental evaluation, and the use of toys in developmental remediation. Many also hold advanced degrees in their fields.

“Adding these new editors really rounds out our editing staff,” says Ernest. “We now have a large, very talented group of reviewers and writers. They have so much experience working with and educating children across age groups, from infants to young teens. I’m very happy to have such a deep talent pool here at SmilesIncluded.”

We’re happy to announce Chris Campbell has joined the SmilesIncluded team. “Chris Campbell is a real asset to SI’s marketing efforts,” says Ernest. “He has more than 20 years experience as a marketing expert in the toy industry. His familiarity with toy industry leaders, his marketing know-how, and his firsthand understanding of the products SI’s users want to know about, makes him a perfect match for us.” Chris’s strengths include his passion for new toys, and his innovative ideas in consumer research. Chris will be sharing his marketing tactics and spearheading our marketing team.

“Kathy has been on our radar for quite some time as a person we wanted to join us at SmilesIncluded. Finally her schedule meshed with ours, and we’re glad she’s on board,” says co-founder Ernest Tarango. “She’s got such a strong background in personnel and customer service, and has been a successful project manager in the past—she’s a real asset for SmilesIncluded.”

Welcome to SmilesIncluded, Ms. Murray!
