Bio
Maris Heinaru
Kristin is a true gem. Over the years, I've been constantly amazed by her willingness to learn and deliver the utmost quality in anything she decides to work on. I had the possibility to hire Kristin as she was starting out her career and saw how hard she was willing to work to give her best effort, how quickly she developed, and how consistently well she performed. She is not just a highly skilled communicator but also very analytical, data-driven, and growth-minded and her organizational skills are top-level. I could see that she has the ambition and desire to make a change and take on big challenges. On top of her skills, she has always stayed humble and kind. She is a true team player and works as a link to bring people together, taking notice and remembering details, and making sure everyone in the team feels good. She is also not afraid to speak out and come up with ideas on how to push things forwards and improve ways of working. Any team would be lucky to have her and I'd love to have the possibility to work with her again one day.

Kristin is a wonderful person to work with. She is very intelligent and is one of the most hard-working people I know. She has a lot of creative ideas, but is also open to new ideas and is eager to learn new skills. She has the ability to analyze different situations in detail before suggesting a course of action. I have worked together with her on multiple communication-related projects while studying at University of Tartu and I know from my own experience that she is a fun and reliable person to work with. She can work in a group as well as independently and has great written and verbal communication skills. She has focus and determination to do great in everything she pursues. It’s not easy to have a full-time job and complete your master’s studies at the same time, but Kristin accomplished the task with a smile on her face. I would recommend her to any employer without hesitation.
