“Kristin is the kind of individual every manager hopes to hire, and does everything they can to retain: Hard-working, dedicated, tireless, good-humored and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Although I was Kristin’s supervisor, all of our interactions were collegial, collaborative and cooperative, showcasing her drive to be the best, to strive for accuracy and above all provide important and relatable information to our viewers.

She never “phoned it in.” Kristin has the kind of personality you can only wish for: easy going, pleasant and yet harder on herself than any manager could be, and an enviable energy that I wish we could have cloned.

I have worked with the top talent at three networks and CNN and don’t recall anyone who could match her enthusiasm for doing the work.

I strongly recommend Kristin for anything she puts her mind to, and advise anyone considering her for any role snatch her up before someone else does. Happy to discuss further at dawnennis@gmail or 914-924-5430.” – Dawn Ennis, Managed Kristin Directly at First Coast News, Jacksonville Florida.

“Kristin is a solid live performer. On many occassions in Syracuse, she was able to rapidly get to the scene of breaking news, find out what was happening and then do a series of live hits. Kristin is unflappable even where there is chaos around her. She’s someone I’d be glad to work with again.” – Sean McNamara, Managed Kristin Directly, News 10 Now.
