Kali McCaskill
Born and raised in Toronto, her first office job was for her father; on days off from school she would go to work with him answering phones, delivering mail, making photocopies- whatever she could do to help. She brings the same genuine desire to help to the team at Knox.
Kali's ties to Huntsville run deep; her great, great grandfather was the first minister at All Saints Anglican, her great-grandmother ran a resort on Fairy Lake, and her grandmother was born in town. Spending her summer and winter holidays locally meant it was an easy transition when she moved here in the late 70's to finish high school. Now Kali has 2 adult children, a cat and (too) many houseplants.
Kali's natural ability to connect with people makes her a welcome face at the front desk. Her varied experiences in education, retail and the food and beverage industry have given her the wide range of skills necessary to run a busy office. "Every day can have a new challenge- I really love my job. It's such a gift to work with this incredible group of women."
