Kalen is an outstanding and knowledgeable team member. She is the type of person that may not have all the answers but you can depend on her to get the answers for you. She is a specialist in every sense of the word. She’s able to empower employees in a number of different ways and is all about developing those colleagues that depend on her as a resource. Kalen is an exceptional asset to any organization, and I would recommend her to any company looking for a dynamic worker that knows how to get the job done.
