Bio
Jackie Twiss
I worked for Kaia for a summer youth camp through Sons of Norway for over 6 years. Her professionalism, work ethic and positive attitude were so influential to my success in that position and for my self as an employee in general. She has amazing leadership and organizational skills that helped keep the entire operation running smoothly. I loved my time working with Kaia!
Maria Gobely
It was great working with such a smart and easy-going individual that wants to continually learn and grow. Kaia would get the information or reports requested quickly. If she didn't have it right on hand then she'd find out who did or how to get it so I could focus on my tasks.
