Recommendations


Susan Whalen, Instructional Designer, I-CAR, July 12, 2021

Incredibly efficient is what comes to mind when I think about Kristin. As my supervisor, she was fair and supportive in leading our team of tutors at Sylvan Learning Center. Years later, she trained me to be the Director of Education. Kristin leads by example along with a great sense of humor. I was always impressed by her outstanding organization, effective communication, and unstinting work ethic. Kristin Wahl would be a stellar addition to any team.

Tony Possley, Assistant Vice President of Campus Operations, Rasmussen University, June 10, 2021

Kristin brings exceptional results to any and all projects, tasks, or objectives she is given. She thinks about things many others overlook. Her ability to think big picture and work collaboratively has helped Rasmussen University make an impact not only with our students but also our staff. I have had the privilege of working with Kristin since 2012. She is a true team player and leader within our organization. Her ability to create and develop new ways of achieving goals and targets is a big reason for her success over the years. Kristin is a valuable asset to our team and would be with any organization she is with.
