Kathleen Gosselin - Owner, The Avalon Hotel, Catalina Island
“Kristina was a lifesaver. We unexpectedly needed extra help for a few weeks during our peak season. She was able to step in with little to no direction and fill in as if she was a seasonal staff member on board for years with us. She went above and beyond and helped us organize some digital and physical files.”
Tigist - Guest @ Hillcrest House, San Diego
“Kristina is a warm and generous host. She is a people-person, a great conversationalist, and generally great at observing and understanding the needs of the guests and seamlessly fulfilling them.”
Evelyn Cano - Front Desk Lead, The Avalon Hotel, Catalina Island
“I had the pleasure of working with Kristina Kennedy. Her ability to work across teams and in different departments is a strength not everyone has. I'm impressed with the way she works and all the experience she has and is willing to share with others to teach new things and help co-workers to grow in their own way. Kristina Consistently demonstrates her dependability by taking on extra work when required and always has a positive attitude that brings joy to a team. I had the opportunity to work with her as my mentor and she was amazing. She taught me so much in a short time and pushed me and exposed me to new things.”
Nathan Thoen - Lead Singer of Bombargo, Guest of Cedar Gables Inn, Napa
“…Kristina was an amazing hostess. We just needed a night after performing at Bottle Rock Napa and really wanted a tub room. We had booked online for a room without a tub and she upgraded us to make our stay better. There was even a congratulations card in the room. Breakfast was delicious.”
