A quote from an article featuring Kristie being interviewed by Margie Carter in Exchange Magazine entitled - Our Work is More Than Our Job- “I find a great difference between my job and my work. My job is about tasks that I complete. It’s laid out in my job description. My work is about purpose. It informs me on how to do my job.” (Exchange, 2016)
