Meet the Team
Kristin Worstell is the Database Analyst for the consortium. She has been in this position for two years. Her interests include cats (she has five!) which she considers a “subscription service to moving house decor; they just brighten up the place.” Her favorite part about working in a consortium is that it is a great community with so much knowledge sharing.
“I have never worked in a place that had so many resource-sharing communities that assist each other with best practices. It honestly makes the world a better place.”
