I worked closely with Karilynn. My client was extremely difficult to work with, she constantly changed her mind on the itinerary. My clients changes required extra work for Karilynn, who was required to call her vendors and work partners. It was a very frustrating situation. Karilyn was very professional through the whole ordeal.
