What's so amazing about Kristin? 

Kristin was born in Columbus, OH until moving to southern California when she was 5. She used to be asthmatic, giggly and chubby, now she's only one of those things. In elementary and middle school, she couldn't help being a teacher's pet; she only got in trouble once - for reading a book in her math class. 

She found her footing in drama and sports in high school, then abandoned all of it for popularity (just kidding). She eventually studied psychology at UCLA as a Regent Scholar, and got overly involved in campus activities like Dance Marathon (now the Pediatric AIDS Coalition), the Student Alumni Association, Bruin Woods and Campus Tours. #GoBruins

Somewhere along the way she started running and keeps promising to give it up, but has run 2 marathons and 3 half marathons in the meantime. Mostly she uses running as an excuse to have a second glass of wine. 

In college Kristin became a barista then coffee master at Starbucks. Admittedly she was brainwashed by the Starbucks way of life, but she claims it's what helps give her a sixth sense when it comes to finding the nearest SBUX location. Despite her loyalty to the siren, she does enjoy brewing her own coffee and trying out local shops. 

A few years after college Kristin managed to meet a fella through mutual college friends and was able to convince him to put a ring on it. They enjoy going on hikes, cooking, and Netflix and chillin' (get your head out of the gutter, there is a LOT of quality content out there). Mostly they like to sit around and make each other laugh in their Los Angeles home. 

She has an older brother, younger sister and 2 nieces and 5 nephews (so far). They're all really cute, even the older brother. 

If you're curious which sports teams Kristin roots for, you'll have to guess by the team colors: 

• College - Blue & Gold (LOTS of hints above)
• NBA - Purple, Gold & White
• NHL - Black & White
• NFL - Dark Green & Gold
• MLB - White & Dodger Blue (seriously.)
• MLS - White, Navy Blue & Gold

Kristin really enjoys the LA sunshine, singing in her car, listening to podcasts, trying out new technology, traveling, snowboarding, reading and fostering friendships. She's usually up for a good adventure, and really likes to sweat it out in yoga.
