Name: Kristina Hill

Position: Seamstress

Location: Monica’s Bridal

First job: Working in a restaurant

Favorite part of the job: “The best part is when the girls have a dress they really like, but they’re unhappy with a little part of it and we get to go in and make some changes on the dress and make it exactly what they want, like adding a personal touch to it. It always makes me happy when I get to go in and do any kind of creative designing.”
