Bio
Ed Bergstrom
Working with Kristen was an absolute pleasure. She is very customer focused and always goes the extra mile. She has always, absolutely always found a way to get the job done so that I could focus on my company's goals. She did her very best to find ways to get better quality and faster performance while bringing projects in under or at cost. It was truly a pleasure to work with someone as customer focused as Kristen.
Thomas Hatley
Kristen was my first manager upon starting my career at Fluor, and immediately following graduation from university. Kristen showed me first-hand what mentor leadership looks like in practice, and helped set my career trajectory by coaching me to be proactive and detail-oriented. I am very grateful for the opportunity to have worked under her leadership.
