Bio
Kim Burrows
I've worked with Kendall for three years. As a Executive Producer and manager, she is organized, efficient and always ready to jump into a problem to solve it. Kendall works on the long-form projects as well as the day-to-day tasks. She knows the intricate details of a situation and follows it through to the end. There's not a task she won't take on.
Patrick Konoske
Kendall was one of those uncommon employees who always showed up to the office ready and willing to learn and to step up to a new task. During her employment, she displayed a strong ability to absorb new information and appropriately apply it to her work as a reporter. This was a position that required strong organizational skills, meeting deadlines, and working closely with colleagues, skills that Kendall readily brought to the job.
