Bio
Kety Esquivel
I had the pleasure of working with Kavita in 2019 and 2020 in my role as the Vice President for Marketing and Communications for AnitaB.org. Kavita is a dedicated team player with an extraordinary work ethic and a clear focus on results. While on my team, Kavita helped to drive and execute our strategy on External newsletter communications. In addition, she was always ready to roll up her sleeves and help her fellow team members with whatever they may need. An engineer by training, Kavita is highly analytical and detail oriented. She would be a great addition to any team.

I was so glad to have had Kavita on my team. I was looking for someone to join our team and take on some very detailed and important work. Kavita jumped right in, learning the ins and outs of the organization and figuring out how she could help. Although a remote position, Kavita connected with the team quickly and built relationships. Once we were together onsite for our conference, she connected well with our speakers and volunteers and took care of any issue that popped up which took a lot of stress off of me. When full time opportunities were available, I did not hesitate to recommend Kavita. She found a perfect fit on our marketing team.
