Bridget Shultz
Kim and I worked together to create the Business Consortium workshop series for Hawkeye Community College. She has the ability to pull teams together, and even did a simple daily quiz to get the Contract Training team familiar with the new classes that were added to the catalog that term for Community Education. She was a pleasure to work with at all times and had a positive attitude when collaborating.
