The bottom line about Kat is that she's one of the good ones, plain and simple.
To elaborate on that, she has a way of holding agency line while making both end-client and vendor (me) feel like she's fighting for their interests...and this isn't just her being a good performer. She's doing it.
Creative folks, developers, me, single-digit stakeholder committees representing huge government and bureaucratic entities can all be pretty difficult to work with...and rightly so I guess. But Kat has achieved a level of client-services mastery (I hate that word, but still) that allows her to let that part slip into the background and just do itself...which frees her up to get involved with a project, it's problems and personalities, and actually move the ball forward towards the end-zone.
On top of that, she's a thoughtful and delightful person and I'd not hesitate to work on any given project with her, a team she runs, or a company that'd be smart enough to keep her around.

Having worked with Kat on multiple interactive projects, as a programmer, I can say it is refreshing to work with someone who can understand and appreciate difficult technical constraints. She has consistently worked to give us adequate time and the budget to craft our best work, and the results of the sites she has produced are proof of her ability to manage large projects, utilize the resources available to her, and navigate tricky client situations. Always a pleasure.

I had the pleasure of working with Kat for several years at a local PR firm and I am happy to recommend her as a true professional with a great range of skills.
During our time together, I relied on Kat to handle a wide range of projects. Her attention to detail and ability to juggle numerous tasks with ease, combined with her warm personality, were a true asset to our office and clients.
Kat was easy to work with, had a great attitude when faced with difficult situations and represented the firm in a professional, friendly manner.
I highly recommend her to any employer seeking a talented, motivated and reliable individual to add to their team.
