KREMC’s subsidiary Kosciusko Connect recently welcomed Brittni Shenefield to the team as a customer service representative/dispatcher. We sat down with Shenefield to get to know more about her and her role at Connect.

What brought you to work for Kosciusko Connect?

As soon as I saw the job posting for Kosciusko Connect, I knew that it was exactly what I wanted to do. I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about the company and the people who work for the company.

Can you share a bit about your prior work experience?

I graduated from high school a semester early and started as a 911 dispatcher for Kosciusko County in April 2019. It was a very rewarding career, and I loved serving my community. I then transferred departments to the Kosciusko County’s Auditor’s Office to have a normal work schedule for my family. Starting at the county at such a young age taught me many skills that I will carry into my exciting new career!

What are you most excited about when it comes to your new role?

I am most excited about helping our community get fast, reliable fiber internet, being back on the phones, and being a part of such an amazing team.

What have your first couple of weeks been like?

My first couple of weeks have been busy with hands-on training and getting to know everyone. However, I did attend my first employee appreciation bowling which was a blast.

What else would you like to share with us regarding your life outside of work?

Outside of work, I love spending time with my beautiful family. They mean everything to me. We have a three-year-old daughter who is very adventurous and two dogs that fill most of our time. Summer is my favorite season, even though it is the busiest. We usually spend our summers kayaking, in the pool, playing at the park, riding dirt bikes, and walking our dogs!
