KELLY ZENDER
Director of Client Services
Kansas City, MO
Studied at: JCCC, Rockhurst University, Kansas State University
Favorite Vacay Spot: Colorado
Favorite TV Series: Breaking Bad (One of the best shows ever written, IMO)
Celebrity Crush: Joseph Gordon Levitt First Job: Bank Teller for 4 years
If I was an animal, I would be: The most chill creature of all land and sea- Sea Turtle
Favorite 90s Jam : ALL OF THEM. (I will argue that the 90’s was one of the greatest decades for music of ALL TIME.) It is the soundtrack of my adolescence
Best Concert: Paul McCartney, My husband & I have seen him TWICE.
Biggest Pet Peeves:
- Inconsiderate people.
- “dead fish” handshake.
- People standing behind me when I’m seated.
- People reading over my shoulder.
Something people may not know about me: : I have a GIANT family. Dad is one of 9, Mom is one of 7…I have DOZENS of first cousins. Holidays are insane.
Favorite thing about working at JNT: Which one? (lol)
But, seriously – I know it sounds cliché, but no two days are ever the same. This job is not monotonous. There’s always a new request that I get to field, or a new challenge that I get to navigate. I love our clients and I love not doing the same exact thing day in and day out.
Outside of Work: I love to travel, I used to love to cook but have discovered I only like it if I have a good kitchen to work with (which I currently do not), and I really love hanging out with my kids and showing them new places/watching them discover new things.
