Kristin Steinhouse

Springfield,OH

Summary

My name is Kristin Steinhouse. I am 32 years old. For the past 14 years I have dedicated my life to Chicago film working rigorous hours. Most days consisted of 19 to 23 hours. Unfortunately due to the film world never bouncing back from the Pandemic, I was forced to leave an industry I loved so very much. An industry I poured every ounce of myself into. So now I am looking to take a different avenue. A career I can give my best self to. Somewhere I can call home away from home. I am extremely motivated. When I see a goal there is no stopping me from exceeding it. Time management is one of my greatest strengths. If found in life that the old adage “ If you’re 10 minutes early, you’re late.” Rings true. On a related note, I am very reliable. Missing a day of work does not and will never exist in my world.
