Sometimes Kirsten feels like a fish out of water in Oklahoma. A native of Connecticut, she’s competed at the national level in synchronized swimming and held five varsity swimming records while competing for Marymount University. While completing her MA in survey research at UConn, she started competing in masters swim meets. She currently trains with the OSU Masters Swim Team.

Kirsten loves that employees at InterWorks embrace the motto: Work Hard, Play Hard. The same traits that have helped her in the pool—time management, hard work and dedication—help her in coordinating the day-to-day operations of the Business Intelligence Team. She loves the fast-paced, ever-changing nature of the IT industry. It’s definitely never boring.

When she’s not swimming, working or volunteering as a board member for the Payne County CASA, she’s usually hanging out with her young son, two dogs and her cat, Lafawnduh.
