Bio
Andy Merriam, MBA
I had the pleasure of working with Kristen for nearly ten years. Kristen is very detail oriented and stays on task. She takes a methodical approach to project management. I was able to witness her approach to a project when we collaborated on a web-based sample request system for our sales team. Kristen is very personable and engages with the right stakeholders to get the results needed. Kristen would be a great asset to any company looking for a strategic thinker, results oriented, and a team player.

Kris has excellent communication skills and is a very talented graphic designer. In addition, she is extremely organized and was always able to follow through to ensure that the project gets done, and on time. Her flexibility and always willing to work hard, always make is a pleasure to work with her. She never hesitated to take on any project that was given to her. I highly recommend that if you get the chance to work with Kris on a project, jump at it. You won't be disappointed!
