Kitty Estrella
Kitty has been part of the Taylor Box Team for 36 years, as a senior member in the assembly and hand department. Her attention to detail, familiarity with box styles, and the production processes make her invaluable to our team. She has been a reliable resource to the production team for many years and is typically the go-to for all training of new employees, quality questions, and checks.
When asked what she likes about working at Taylor Box Company, it was that it’s a family. She feels that it’s a small, close-knit environment where she feels people show concern and she feels cared about.
The most memorable project she has worked on was the Red Bull Winter project. Despite this box’s challenge in having to hand wrap each base due to construction type, she enjoyed the challenge of putting the box together because of its complexity. She said she was even more excited so to see the project completed and how rewarding it was to see the panels drop perfectly and reveal the contents as it was opened.
One of Kitties most memorable moments of working at Taylor Box has been winning the Halloween Costume Contest two years in a row! Hopefully, this year will be a third. She gets creative with her costumes, and her upbeat and fun personality makes them special.
Outside of Taylor Box, she is dedicated to her family. Her children and grandchildren mean the world to her. She is a great cook who loves to experiment with flavors and learns a lot of new recipes when she watches her favorite channel – Food Network. Her other hobbies include gardening and boating on the water.
