Kris is one of the most loyal and dedicated employees a company could have. These qualities were immediately evident and made her stand out during the interview process and continued through our entire relationship. Kris took a leadership role writing scripts and training manuals for a newly developing sales team and she was eventually awarded "MVP" for her work. She is conscientous, caring and above all professional. I highly recommend Kris.

When From Houses to Homes started hiring for our San Jose Medical Clinic in Pastores, Guatemala, we needed an Administrator. I found that person in Kris Hettrick. Kris is an amazing person. She is the most diligent, persevering, hard working, attentive, conscientious, knowledgeable person I know. She came to us without experience in healthcare but quickly assessed our needs, came up to speed on what she needed to know and applied her learning from other industries. When we opened the clinic we were fully prepared, meeting the needs of the community on day one. Unfortunately she had to leave Guatemala due to a serious illness in her family. She would be welcomed back to From Houses to Homes in a second. If you are contemplating hiring Kris, I assure you that you will have hired an excellent employee.
