“We have been lucky to work with Kristin on multiple high-profile projects in primary care. Not only does she have a thorough understanding of the healthcare sector complexities, but her work is exceptional. Her writing style is detailed, thoughtful, and precise. As a skilled professional, Kristin has the ability to listen to multiple viewpoints while building cohesion and aligned purpose. We have worked with multiple external consultants, but Kristin has delivered superb service and exceeded our project expectations every time.”
