"This letter is my personal recommendation for Katherine Banning. I was Katherine’s immediate supervisor for approximately one year. I found her to be consistently pleasant, tackling all assignments with dedication and a smile. 

Katherine was a self motivated, organized and enthusiastic leader in our Gallery Shop management team, and assisted the Arts Center beyond the call of duty on several occasions. She has a clear talent for setting up systems and solving problems, specifically with conflict resolution relating to collectors, clients, and customers. She was always able to establish a warm rapport with other members of staff, customers and upper management. 

I highly recommend Katherine for employment. She has a positive spirit which I very much enjoyed working with. If it were not for the economic pressures which led to the closing of the Gallery Shop, Katherine would likely still be an ambitious and successful member of our staff. She is a team player and would make a great asset to any organization."

“Katherine is an innovator. She has the ability to create visual narrative with her choice and display of a variety of artistic mediums. She identifies talent with a practiced eye and promotes each of the artists she represents to their benefit and to the benefit of the gallery. As an emerging artist, she challenges me to improve with her support and promotion of my work to produce solid results in terms of revenue and exposure. She is an asset in every way and I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with her.”

“As Katherine’s direct supervisor, I witnessed her natural vivacity and warmth first-hand. Her good humour and positive attitude always made our store a nicer place to work, and she was a highly valued member of our team. With a knack for making guests feel at ease, she was unfailingly professional in even the most stressful situations, gently steering any conflict toward the best resolution for the company and the guest. Katherine also won a “Raving Fans” award for her excellence in sales and guest service. As full-time Key Holder and acting Manager on Duty in the absence of the Store Manager, Katherine was relied upon to work independently, to meet ambitious sales goals by serving our guests while simultaneously performing scheduled markdowns, floor-sets, and DM visit preparations, and to maintain the security of our corporate assets and ensure the safety of our staff. Katherine is a “natural” as a sales professional, and absolutely eligible for re-hire.”
