“

From you, I learned the importance of hard work… Thank you for always sticking up for us when we couldn’t. 

“

What stood out to me the most (during our first conference together) was that I felt as if you didn’t treat me like your subordinate, but instead as your equal. You made me feel confident in myself. I will always remember that trip because it was the first time I felt as if someone trusted me enough and believed in me enough to take on a task of that magnitude. 

“

Prior to working at this company, I never fathomed that I would be able to develop the level of trust towards any manager in the same way I feel with you. Thank you for also returning that trust to us and believing in us in accomplishing and overcoming new challenges that are thrown our way.

“

You are an inspiring and understanding leader who views the situations of those who work for you with genuine compassion while letting no one walk over you. 

“

You are one of the few leaders I have worked with who I reference as a template for what to do, rather than what to avoid.

Kristin displayed from our very first day working together that she believed in me and my ability to reach my goals and beyond. With her authenticity, she built me back up through the power of education and pushed me beyond my comfort zone. I now have the confidence, knowledge, and internal fire to reach my goals and beyond within the next chapter of my life.
