Bio
Erin Friedman (Donohue)
I have had the pleasure of working with Kristen Hains for the past year at Judy’s Book, Inc as both a people manager and copy editor. Working remotely, Kristen was able to contribute and add significant value to the Judy’s Book team with little supervision or direction. I was particularly impressed with Kristen’s ability to problem solve and proactively provide solutions to improve processes with clear communication and sound rationale. She worked collaboratively both with the VP of Marketing and the VP of Product Management on a regular basis providing feedback and recommendations on product development and marketing strategy. Kristen brings a high level of professionalism including a strong attention to detail and unwavering accountability which proved to be invaluable to Judy’s Book and my team. I highly recommend Kristen Hains and feel that she brings skills and a positive attitude that make her an asset to any team.

I've hired Kristen as a research assistant on several occasions. She's fast, knows her stuff, and is able to track down even the most obscure details for my projects. She's also a gem to work with, always happy to jump right into a project and see it through to the end. I highly recommend her!
