It is always nerve-racking coming into a new company and trying to break the ice. Ensuring that new employees feel comfortable is crucial to building a positive transition within a company. We thought it would be fun to ask Kathy a few questions to get to know her a little better.
Q: What is your official work title?
A: Business Development Manager
Q: Can you tell us more about your professional experience/history?
A: I have been "selling" either products or services for the last 20 years. I have had the opportunity to work in multiple industries giving me diversity and the ability to expand my network of contacts. I returned to school in 2015 and received my BS in Business Management in 2017.
Q: What do you like to do outside of work?

Q: What is your greatest travel experience?
A: I love to travel, but years ago we took the Amtrak with the kids to Colorado. Seeing the countryside from that view was hands down the best ever (even though the trip back was snow delayed for 12 hours lol).

A: I have a few, but I would say Pretty Women, as Julia Roberts and Richard Gere are two of my favorite actors. I love movies so saying I have a favorite is very hard!
