Bio
Marsha Shigeyo Hawley
Kia is one of the most competent team leaders I have worked with. Her ability to motivate people, provide the structure for high quality work with the right balance of creative freedom, makes her stand out. She is honest, trustworthy and motivated to do her best at all times. As her supervisor, I found that Kia’s strength is in her ability to partner, raise awareness of the situation, and thoughtfully come up with a solution. I’ve found her to be respectfully direct, and able to express herself clearly in situations with staff and management.She always has the best intentions in mind and that is clear. She is a natural leader. Kia is an excellent trainer. She is organized and strategically plans the learning course for staff. In her role as coordinator she assumed more responsibility than expected, and continuously builds her strengths independently. It is a pleasure to work together with Kia and I highly recommend her.

Kia has been an essential addition to our team at MCECL! Her ability to quickly and intentionally inform, update, and lead our assessment team is a gift any organization is fortunate to have. Her skill level and grace have constantly been showcased. I highly recommend Kia for any nonprofit or early childhood setting looking for a coordinator and supervisor leader.
