Victoria Kasminoff
SENIOR HR MANAGER
With 7+ years in HR, a BA in Psychology, and a UI/UX Design certificate from Berkeley (yes, she can read people AND redesign a website, no big deal), Victoria has range. She keeps the humans at K&A hired, happy, and out of HR-related trouble, and if the company website ever needs an opinion on user flow, she's got that covered too.
Outside the office, Victoria is a runner (sort of successful at it, but she'll take it), a yoga enthusiast working toward the elusive human pretzel status (currently 45% flexible, 100% committed), and full-time servant to her perfect angel mutt, Layla, who is very much the actual head of household. Victoria just pays the bills and refills the treat jar.
