The breadth of knowledge and experience Kathy has is incredibly valuable to us in our operations at Northline today. Kathy has thrived over the last 24 years in several different roles in the student transportation industry. She has been a Driver, Monitor, Trainer, Third Party Examiner, Safety Coordinator, Assistant Manager and Interim Manager. She filled all those positions while working for one specific school district, so for her to join our team and now serving multiple school districts, it was an honor to have her join us in the summer of 2021. Kathy now excels at managing our dispatch and payroll for all staff while coordinating preventative maintenance work on the vans. She also enjoys getting out of the base to observe what’s happening with our drivers in the loading zones from time to time. She works hard to ensure routes and communication with the drivers is accurate and timely.
