Hear from some of my past mangers on their experience with me.
Amanda Bridgers
Content Ops Lead at Procore
“Kat is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to long-term planning, troubleshooting, and implementation of key components necessary for our continued success as a company. To say that she plays a role in Procore's longterm strategy would be an understatement—she is a leader of the pack, acting as a key player in the success of both our support and certification sites. I honestly cannot say enough in terms of how much of an integral part Kat has played in our team success. We absolutely would not be where we are today if not for her and her skillset.
Her forethought and ability to see that our team's resources were too limited for specific projects have helped us build reasonable boundaries around what our team is truly capable of, and has protected us from overwork and under-appreciation. She has helped to guide the team into more efficient processes, organized our previously chaotic documents and assets, and positioned herself as a subject matter expert on all things associated to the team. Her ability to communicate with team members in a way that is completely supportive and non-confrontational has allowed us to roll out processes that our team is incredibly receptive of.”
Colleen Lai
Instructional Design Senior Manager at Procore
“Kat is truly stellar in the way that she actively seeks ways to improve the lives and jobs of her coworkers and our end-users. She has a great skillset, but that coupled with her eye for problem-solving is really what makes her so unique.
She’s the default person to turn to when seemingly unsolvable issues come up, and she is always the type to happily own the project even it requires an unknown, but likely not minimal amount of time for her to complete. It's not just that she provides her time or assistance, but she is always actively looking at ways to "break" the process and find any potential problems that may come up. That sort of attitude and outlook is engrained in her, and the whole team has benefited from it. Her effort goes beyond just owning her projects, but carries over into improving the rest of the team's projects as well.
She is always listening when it comes to new projects or ideas that may better the organization in any way, and she never lets other people's timelines be blockers for her when she is trying to accomplish something. She will find another stakeholder, a different reviewer, and new way to push something through. She has amazing determination, grit, and expertise at her craft.”
Dean Onishi
Education Director at Rippling
“Kat is a talented Swiss‐army knife with a wide range of talents and skills. Whether it's storyboarding, graphic design, motion graphics, scripting, or researching best practices, she can accomplish top quality results in an extremely short amount of time.
She never shies away from a challenge, and has a learner's curiosity—always looking to incorporate her learnings into her various projects. She has tackled every project thrown her way with a level of quality and detail that always exceeded my exceptions.
I had the pleasure of initially hiring Kat and watching her grow and tackle a variety of roles and projects over 4+ years. She’s one of the most uniquely talented individuals I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with in tech. Her skills, experience, and leadership qualities can only be overshadowed by her genuine humility and kindness. I would absolutely hire Kat again in a heartbeat. Any company would be lucky to have her on their team.”
