Background

About Kristel Schimpff

With a dynamic background that spans law enforcement, corporate operations, hospitality, and entrepreneurship, I bring a unique blend of structure, service, and leadership to every role I take on. My career began in public service, where I served in both law enforcement and corrections—developing a strong foundation in discipline, crisis management, and effective communication. I later transitioned into the corporate sector as an Executive Assistant for Boeing, where I supported high-level executives and gained valuable experience in operations, confidentiality, and organizational efficiency. As a business owner, I learned firsthand the challenges and rewards of entrepreneurship—balancing strategy, customer service, and day-to-day operations. Currently, I thrive at Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurants in multiple capacities: Front of House Supervisor, Assistant Office Administrator, and Tasting Room Attendant. These roles allow me to combine my passion for hospitality and wine with operational excellence and team leadership. Whether ensuring guests have an exceptional dining experience, assisting with daily operations, or curating memorable wine tastings, I bring enthusiasm, professionalism, and attention to detail to every shift. I’m driven by integrity, service, and a constant desire to grow. Whether leading a team, supporting executives, or serving guests, I bring professionalism, adaptability, and heart to the table.
