What People Say

Kirsten is a JA Intern by name only.  Her professionalism and ability to ideate is that of a more seasoned colleague.  She has helped our organization pivot during one of the most challenging times in our country’s and organization’s history. 

 

Her energy, can-do attitude, and incredible problem solving skills have allowed us to not only pivot to virtual experiences for our partners, but has helped us create meaningful engagement tactics that will continue for years to come. 

 

Thoughtful, creative, customer focused, strong communicator, professional, fun, high energy, innovative, and smart are all words to describe Kirsten.  I am personally grateful to have Kirsten as part of our JAUM Development Team!

LaChelle Williams, Chief Operating Officer

What People Say

Kirsten has continued to exceed our expectations.  With very little direction and onboarding, Kirsten will quickly understand a goal and work to self-navigate.  She jumps in without being asked to complete a task simply because she understands it will help support the team and organization. 

 

At an understaffed non-profit, this was a critical success factor for us in 2020 and what justified us ensuring Kirsten was part of our limited staff budget.  Kirsten has a quiet and calm presence in the face of a stressful event or project.  She works quickly and the result often exceeds expectations.  We have greatly valued her commitment to excellence while at Junior Achievement.

What People Say

Kirsten is incredibly capable of any task we give her at JA. She has been given the “Events Intern” role but has stepped up in all categories including; marketing, communications, partnerships, project management and more. I always feel better when Kirsten is on a project with me because any time I need assistance with a task she is right there to help me!

 

She takes direction very clearly and is self-sufficient, asking questions when needed. She’s a great worker and will be an asset to any team she is on! I enjoy working with Kirsten professionally as well as personally!

Molly Wick, Corporate Events Manager
