In this week's blog post and latest in our "Stars of Keystone" series, we're excited to introduce the newest member of the Keystone Customer Support Team!

Basic Stats:
Name of Staff Member: Katharina Stevens
Year Hired: 2022
Current Job Title: Customer Support Specialist
Getting to Know You Q&A:
Q: What are you most excited about / looking forward to as a new KLAS customer support specialist?
A: I think reading and access to books is very important. In America we are blessed with an over abundance of resources though we don’t always realize it. I’m excited to be a small part in promoting and improving access to reading materials.
Q: What did you do before working for Keystone?
A: I was the school librarian at an international school in East Africa for nine years. The only wildlife I saw in my yard were geckos, birds and stray cats but coworkers had monkeys that would visit.
Q: What are your hobbies outside of work?
A: Reading, traveling, board games and being an aunt.

Q: If you could go anywhere on vacation, where would you go?
A: New Zealand & Australia and then somewhere in South America so I can say I’ve been to all continents (except Antarctica).
Q: Do you have any pets? If so, what kind and what are their names?
A: While in East Africa my housemate and I found two puppies in the field across the street. The mama was the neighborhood stray so we ended up taking the puppies. Roo and Stoney (named after a Ugandan ginger soda) needed a bath every day for a month to get them clean and bug free.
