Employee Spotlight: Kristina Brott
With a background in mall retail, Kristina brought her customer service expertise to Goodwill—but it’s her passion for people and the mission that truly makes her shine.
Kristina suggests, “Find a job you can have fun in and enjoy going to.” And she lives that advice every day, sprinkling humor and positivity into her work—often with a corny joke or two.
