Kris is a gem. She is smart, creative, organized and a great team player. Since joining our organization three years ago, Kris has implemented new polices and procedures and brought positive change to our operations. I am so grateful she is a part of the Camp Odayin family.

During a Surgical Unit expansion project, Kris quickly gained the trust of the clinical leader by listening, identifying gaps, and using her project management knowledge to guide the team through project planning and execution. She recognized the leader’s needs before they did!
