Bio

Kristin is an outstanding manager and mentor, one of the best I ever had! For 5 years, I had the pleasure of working on the HR Team that she built. She leads by example and knows how to bring the best out of each of her team members. She was always calm under pressure and kept our HR team motivated. The other characteristics that made her such a great manager is her extensive knowledge and kindness. I’m grateful I had the chance to learn from Kristin.

Working with Kristin during her tenure as the VP of Human Resources for NexCare Health Systems and The Wellbridge Group I found her knowledge of complex human resources issues to be unmatched. Kristin is one of the most capable human resources professionals with whom I have worked in my 45 years as an employment/labor attorney. She has an incredible ability to develop creative solutions to personnel issues. Kristin has extensive experience bargaining labor contracts with an array of labor unions. Her collaborative approach to labor negotiations makes her an effective negotiator for the employers she has represented.
