Kristen Newlon is the latest addition to JRT. She'll be working primarily as a dealer marketing specialist on the Mopar account under the direction of Josh Perry.

Attending Oakland University’s main campus in Rochester Hills, Kristen earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in both Communications and Spanish Language & Literature.

As for hobbies and interests, they include cooking, boating, drawing, shopping, running and animals. However, when it comes to one of her favorite getaways, grocery shopping rules! "I know that's not the answer you hear every day,” Kristen explained. "But I really like to grocery shop for some reason."

Born in Royal Oak, Kristen resides in Waterford Twp. with her fiancé, Wes, and her cat named Mr. Poof.

How do you motivate people? I try to always see at least some positive in every situation, regardless of how negative it may seem.

Guilty pleasure: Romantic comedies.

Favorite cause: I try to support many different causes but I must admit I’m a sucker for putting change in the Michigan Humane Society jars at the grocery store.

Where do you go to get away from it all?: Boating on Pine Lake!

Favorite restaurant: That's a tough call—probably The Clarkston Union. Their lobster macaroni & cheese is to die for!
