Kiersten brings a rare blend to our content. She’s a journalist who’s thorough in her reporting and reliable with deadlines, and her content consistently performs for us. But perhaps most worth noting is that Kiersten is a pleasure to work with. I count her as a cherished colleague, and our team always appreciates being able to turn to her for expertise.

Kiersten has excellent self-awareness and was by far my favorite editor I’ve ever worked directly under. Her background paired with her grit and people skills made her a wonderful colleague and collaborator. She knows when to be hands-off and the trust she had in my work helped strengthen my confidence professionally. She always gave excellent constructive criticism and never denied collaboration even after her role to oversee my work ended. Anyone who has the pleasure to work with Kiersten will receive nothing short of the utmost respect, honesty, and professionalism.
