Alicia's Reflections on Christina's 9th Anniversary:

Today marks the 9th anniversary of Christina Watson’s employment as my “right-hand” man (person). For those of you who haven’t interacted with Christina- hard to believe if you’ve interacted with us at all - she is the true force behind our work at Kone Consulting. Christina is our Vice President of Operations and Finance. She makes sure the bills get paid, our paperwork is in order, and our employees are safe and happy. She also leads our Project Assistant team and has mentored several of our part-time employees on how to provide world-class project support to our senior consultants and project managers. Christina can schedule a meeting like nobody’s business! Mostly, Christina makes KC a warm and inviting place for me to get up and lead every day. Thank you, friend, colleague, confidante, and travel companion. We have covered many miles together and we have many more miles to go!

I’ve spent the past several days sifting through photos of Christina so I can share a few with you. A slide-show seemed the best way to capture her spirit. She is difficult to describe with words. They don’t seem adequate because she’s the kindest, most loyal, hardest working, respectful and non-judgmental person I know. Christina loves all creatures - especially human elders and children - and animals of all kinds. She loves to get a job done, and she loves to party. And Christina loves to learn, especially new things about herself. She is a joy to work with every day, which is not surprising considering she was made by Joy(ce) Watson, her mother whom she loves most of all.
