In 2004 Kristine made the choice to move halfway across the country to volunteer full-time for a year with an AmeriCorps organization in Eastern KY. She fell in love with nonprofit work as her volunteer tenure stretched from one year to five years. It fueled her desire to commit to nonprofit work full time and she returned to school to earn an MNM degree.

Since that time, she has held a variety of both for-profit and nonprofit accounting positions, helping in the areas of Mental Health, Multiple Sclerosis and Disaster Relief. She puts on her detective hat at work because really appreciates the story that you can uncover from the numbers. She can reveal what is a priority to a client or areas of future growth or improvement.

When she is not spending countless hours working on her gardens or cuddling with cats, Kristine is a master baker and enjoys crafting delicious cupcakes and cakes through the home-based bakery business she started in 2017.
