Kristen Zufan

Team Assistant

When Kristen walked in the office one morning describing her dream about proofreading, it became obvious that she had truly become a Team Assistant.  It is her mission to see to it that every document – whether a proposal for a client, a news advisory or press release – is as close to perfect as can be.  As a recent graduate (and proud alumna) of University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana studying English literature, she spent four years living and breathing the nuances of the English language, making her well suited for this task.

In addition to working with external communications, Kristen conducts Internet research, tracks clients in the media, creates PowerPoint presentations and just about anything else that a client or colleague sends her way.  She welcomes all tasks with tremendous enthusiasm and approaches them with a fresh perspective.

Some of her recent projects include:

  • Producing letters and news releases announcing the February 2004 acquisition of Continental/Midland, LLC.
  • Examining numerous trade and national publications to compile a media list and master editorial calendar and planner for CapitalSource.
  • Researching industry speaking opportunities and developing a speaking strategy calendar for Premier, Inc.
