Bio
Ryan Kasper
Kristina and I worked together at the South Health Campus. She was always eager to learn new assessment tools, and hone her craft. Cognitive testing is not fun, and people will sometimes lash out as a result. Kristina excelled in calming her clients through empathic practices so they felt comfortable and empowered to complete the assessments. She worked diligently, took initiative to improve systems, and was truly a pleasure to work with.
