Brad Van Schouwen

When I joined Walks, it was apparent Kat was a leader among the customer service team. She set a great example with her very positive demeanor and was great with customers and staff. She often took the lead on projects related to her team, one I specifically recall was leading a customer feedback initiative to better assess customer experience. Feedback at a company selling online is critical for marketing and sales and Kat stepped up to the task. I would recommend Kat for anyone looking for a positive, leadership oriented force, who takes direction well and has proven herself capable.

Kathryn is an extraordinary person to all who are lucky enough to surround her. She is full of kind energy and radiates passion. I know that wherever Kat goes in her personal and professional life will positively affect the environment within. Kat is a fantastic communicator and handles life's tasks in a go-getting attitude. While being one of the most intellectual people to converse with, I have no doubts Kat will master anything set in front of her with ease. She is a peer who will light up a room with her smile and demeanor everyday. I highly recommend Kat to any professional setting.
